RE: Planning Struts Application Development
You may find it interesting to have a look at http://www.mvc2frameworks.org, a research site which has a BOF presentation we made at J1 on frameworks and a spreadsheet which details what/where frameworks focus. It explains how architectural frameworks (i.e. Expresso) are a superset of presentation framework features, (i.e. Struts) and details the features of each; as well as compares frameworks (as of June this year).

RE: Planning Struts Application Development
Lauri There is assurance in using the stable, defacto standard Struts for your application, ensuring longevity of your investment. As also mentioned by some folks here, Expresso extends Struts with those pieces such as caching and much more. Using Struts/Expresso we have a number of web-based group-ware applications including forum (oss), polling (oss), faq and content management. We also have a calendar application in development - let me know if you want to know more. And you will find good support from our large community along the way.

RE: Persistence Framework Comparison?
David, ...what I would recommend happen on top of Struts. Something that takes Struts, a proven OSS O/R framework, and some glue to make DB-driven Struts applications faster to develop. ... But if one existed, I'd problem knock out a couple of pet projects faster. One exists. :) Expresso is an architectural framework built around a core of 16 separate, integrated, application framework components - the glue to make DB-driven Struts applications. What makes Expresso noteworthy is: - it builds on several other open source projects - integrating best of breed open source components including Cactus, Log4J, JUnit, Xerces, Xalan, Struts and more into a single, integrated software architecture - it has the largest framework community globally (about 4500 on the listserv) - so most accepted I haven't used it, but I get the feeling that the Expresso framework (http://www.jcorporate.com/) tries to fill this need to some extent. That's exactly what Expresso provides :) and more. Here's a list of what it does: - Caching - Configuration Values - Controller Objects - Database Objects - DB Connection Pooling - Email Connectivity - Notification and Error Handling - Health Check - Job Control - Logging Integration - Registration Login - Security - Taglibs - Unit Testing - Workflow - XML Integration Individually, each of these framework components solves technical challenges that developers traditionally must solve on their own before writing a given business application. Combined together, they solve innumerable application development challenges, and free a development team from having to write application architecture, allowing the team to focus on writing the applications that support the business at hand. With the 4.0 release, we replaced our own mvc with Struts'. We've released 4.1 RC3 download onsite which will be dubbed 4.1 this weekend.

RE: content management ideas?
Bryan, I am sure there are many suggestions. I will convey what has worked for us in practice. Our site utilizes our Struts based content management system (CMS) called eContent. Since much of our site is dynamically generated our users update dynamic content via the CMS directly. Basically a resource can be comprised of defined attributes which are pieces of data related to the one resource. An example of this is any of our project summary pages: where each piece of data on the summary page is an attribute of a project, i.e. Description, Stable version, License, Status etc. The formatting is done by a template. If formatting changes are desired, a request for change is made or for more detailed changes a mockup is provided to the administrator to modify the template. Static content is edited in Webphere Studio and is either uploaded directly to the site or via the CMS system (the later when the page/content requires authentication to access onsite). When uploaded via the CMS, we sometimes utilize a workflow process, i.e. for verification before publishing; or to ensure the file is checked into CVS as the case may be. Hope this is helpful.

At my company, I'm building a site for which much of the static content (including things like the CSS stylesheet) will probably undergo frequent revision. I'd like to open it up for easier access, such as via FrontPage, so that I (the programmer) am not in the middle of such changes. But the site is very dynamic, with almost all page fetches resulting in a database query and dynamic content being built. So the site needs to be JSP-based, and I don't want the aforementioned Frontpagers modifying the raw JSP pages.

RE: JATO
snip So it does'nt appear to be a struts competitor . but i c'd be wrong Jato has a MVC mechanism and based on discussions with its developers is viewed as a competitor to Struts. The moderator of the Jato list he sent me his technical accessment compared to Struts. Technical discussions aside lets just say that I have been on Jato's listserv for quite a few months and their list is lucky to get a couple postings a week - so what does that say about community acceptance? I wanted to find out more about how Jato fit in the larger scheme of things - why was Sun putting resources on the development of 2 MVC projects for example when Struts was so popular? - and what I found out at JavaOne was that Jato was developed to migrate NetDynamics customers after Sun acquired that company. While perhaps it is significant that Jato is discussed in the SunONE Architecture Guide, Jato is not utilized by any of the SunOne components. http://wwws.sun.com/software/sunone/docs/arch/index.html. I perceive SunOne is in a state of change as it is repositioned since Sun only acquired iPlanet in March. According to the press, Sun's intent is to focus strongly on commercially marketing SunOne (iPlanet). I have no doubt that Sun recognizes that going with the MVC with the broadest market acceptance is in their interest from a marketing perspective. So as Struts continues with increasingly acceptance as a defacto standard in time I cannot help but think SunOne will adopt Struts for its MVC?; similiarly like SunOne (iPlanet) Server is adopting Tomcat into its next release My .02 cents Sandra -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Need Help: Please do help me
For user authentication, use container security not Struts. Struts example should not be based on login. You might have a look at the Expresso Security (open source at www.jcorporate.com) which extends Struts, though Expresso's security framework came into being long before container-based security became a possibility. We are in the process of working to migrate the Expresso security framework to JAAS, in which case, we will be compatible, but it will not be included in the upcoming 4.1 release. Once developed we will probably keep the current database tables as the default implementation (although pluggable security matrices are in the works) since they've been so convenient and nice to work with. Sometimes container integration can be a hassle as you switch from container to container. Expresso might be helpful by staying container independent at this phase and slowly integrating in as container spec conformance comes about. We use a Controller which is a customized Action class. Our security is automatic... We currently have three security categories: Controllers [Actions]: Each controller's state is checked against the security matrix. If the user belongs to the appropriate role, access is granted. DBObjects: Our persistance layer has role-based security for add/update/delete, also defined in a security matrix.

RE: MVC specification Request
Craig I concur that the web application architecture space is approaching maturity where it makes sense to start thinking about standardization. Furthering your point that the view part is already being take care of between JSTL and Faces in the Java standards world; there is all the more reason to standardize on the MC parts since they inter-relate. it's a combination of technical skills at crafting a viable standard without over-constraining the implementation, plus the political skills to gain consensus among expert group members There's one person that comes to mind that would be ideal to lead this worthy endeavor to create a specification standard for the MVC. It is someone that is very highly regarded technically in the area of MVC, is an excellent communicator, is an community leader, and has exemplary political skills to boot. Please forgive my boldness Craig - but your skills would make this a real possibility. I do appreciate there is the issue of time. Who has time? Is the value there for you to commit your time? One value proposition is that your leadership role would reflect on and promote the Struts project. I also concur that Struts is a very popular de facto standard in this space and all the more reason that I feel you are the most appropriate person to lead this standardization process. Further as the Java world around web applications is changing, MVC not to mention Struts is evolving with these changes: - Servlet 2.4 (JSR154) - JSP 1.3 (JSR152) - JSP Standard Tag Library 1.0 (JSR52) - JavaServerFaces (JSR127) - Web Services - Portals In a few of these areas like web services it is my understanding it is not yet defined how Struts will evolve. Would then the time invested in the standardization process directly benefit how Struts evolves? How do you feel about leading the process? How do others in the community feel?

RE: Struts Connection Pool Maturity - Ted - you out there?
snip I've been using Poolman just fine, but would like to switch to the struts pool if it is at a maturity-level that would make that possible. Perhaps I misunderstanding something here? I would like to ask why Struts didn't just incorporate Poolman or Expresso's Connection pooling instead of developing another? i.e. Expresso's has been around since '96 and is certainly stable! It's an Apache Style license so the code is certainly open source compatible with Struts Apache license. This brings up for me a larger question I am not clear on What is Struts view on building on/integrating/contributing with third party open source projects and not reinventing wheels? With the shoe on the other foot we support other open source projects (including several Apache projects) by building on them and thus have an area in Expresso's CVS for third party libraries which is where Struts resides. This benefits the open source movement by making projects stronger and increasing mindshare and strengthening their acceptance as open standards. I'm sure you'll agree the Expresso community has contributed in positive ways to the Struts code and community.

RE: Struts Connection Pool Maturity - Ted - you out there?
Interesting This doesn't compute for me. Should we Expresso NOT use Struts or any other Apache project because it is outside of our quality control? No of course not, because we know the collaborative comunity process is such that if we had an issue it would be addressed either by us contributing the fix or the core developers. The point of the matter is there is no mechanism within Apache to use third party open source tools. This is disheartening! By appearances Apache is interested in only code contributed to its Intellectual Property and will not support third party projects. What is more dishearterning to me is this: Considering that in March 2002 Apache was requesting an open and fair licensing scheme from Sun for developing Java standards isn't this hypocritical? Basically Apache is asking Sun to use third party open source projects in Java when Apache itself won't integrate other third party open source projects!!! I would like to propose that Apache should consider its own words and apply them to its own organization and also support third party open source projects that are worthy and are offered under an Apache Style or BSD license. Expresso has more than twice the community listserv size of Struts and has earned its recognition as a solid framework.

In the particular case of the Espresso connection pool, I didn't know about it at the time.

Feel free to integrate Struts into anything you like -- that is the fundamental value proposition of the Apache License. For the stuff packaged *inside* Struts, I'm personally more comfortable with Apache based code, where I know the other developers and the support culture around it. For outside code, given license compatibility and a willingness of others to support it (to *my* quality standards, since Struts is pretty closely associated with *my* name :-), I'm OK with it, but I'd usually rather just leave it out and let others provide integrated packages.

MVC specification Request
On the topic of the JCP, here goes something I've had on my mind since the JavaOne JCP.org announcement. As you know during JavaOne there was an announcement that Sun opens Java to Open Source community. Future versions of Java can feature APIs developed by the open source community under changes to the Java Community Process (JCP). Java Community Process (JCP) is the formal process described for developing for revising Java technology specifications. As an Struts evangelist, I would like to ask this list whether the is interest abound in this group to INITIATE A JAVA MVC SPECIFICATION REQUEST to JCP.org. The idea is that Struts would be a open source reference implementation of the developed MVC specification. I feel the value proposition is there from the perspective of Sun's objective of making Java applications integratable - and that means they should share a common architecture of which MVC is a foundation technology which would help fulfill that objective. I look forward to your thoughts. Respectfully Sandra -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Struts Connection Pool Maturity - Ted - you out there?
Craig Thanks for all of the clarification - I'm relieved that there can be third party open source in Apache projects. :) I stand corrected. If others are willing to support an imported third party module, then that is fine. But I feel a personal moral obligation to Struts users that anything included in the official Struts distribution needs to be supported by the Struts developer community, no matter where the original code came from. As long as that's done, third party code is fine. Heck that's fair enough - we feel the same! i.e. The official Expresso distribution includes Struts and is supported by the Expresso developer community. With the parameters defined for including third party code, I would like to ask if you as a Struts Committer would be willing to give consideration to evaluating Expresso components before developing components that already exist in Expresso?

RE: MVC specification Request
My thought is that MVC is a programming model, pardigm or what have you, and not an architecture. I attended a BOF at JavaOne called Building an MVC Type II Architecture for the SunOne Environement Web Services Platform by Kartik Ganeshan, Enterprise Java Architect, Sun. He and his team were involved in writing the book Core J2EE Patterns. He said in his introduction, MVC Type II - an architecture in itself. I wrote my own MVC framework, and have seen many many others out there. Which is exactly why I propose a specification needs to be defined. I am not proposing there be only one implementation :). If MVC becomes a spec, does that mean Struts is the only one that does it according to the spec, No, of course not. I'm was proposing it be an open source reference implementation. and all of the other ones have to suddenly change (perhaps drastically) to be a correct implementation of MVC? It is a process. The expert team would be comprised of experts from various MVC projects to arrive at a spec. This is a process that might take a year or two. So it would not be a sudden change for anyone. We're talking about a community process - in other words various MVC projects aligning on a specification. but I sure would hate to be forced (so to speak) to rework my framework just so that developers would consider it a compatible MVC framework. There is no forcing. Whether a MVC implementation chooses to be compliant with a spec would be entirely their choosing. The ultimate goal here from my perspective is to continue strengthening Java and create less architecture fragmentation. The more united Java is at the architecture level the stronger Java is in the playing field with .net. -- Sandra -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
