Re: Other Frameworks?
Have you seen this: http://barracuda.enhydra.org/cvs_source/Barracuda/docs/landscape.html Steven Leija wrote: Hey All, I was asked to evaluate java frameworks that are available such as Struts, Turbine, Barracuda, Smartmode, Velocity, Expresso, Niggle, Tapestry, and Swinglets. Does anyone have any sort of opinion over which frameworks are the best? Which frameworks are not the best or ideal to use? Do any of the frameworks compliment others? Does Struts work well with other frameworks such as Cocoon? I'm in favor of Struts, but I must evaluate other frameworks to come up with a the pro's and con's with each framework and why Struts is more dominate over it's competitor frameworks.
RE: Other Frameworks?
Steven, Since you asked about what frameworks compliment others Expresso Framework for example is being integrated with Struts so as to complement Struts. We're a lot closer with this integration with the release last week of Expresso 3.1. There is a development roadmap onsite under Documentation, and as I understand it the full integration is to be out sometime around the end of July. We have forums on both our User and Developers Forums discussing this integration. You can find the forums at: http://www.jcorporate.com/components/internal/projframe.jsp?category=65 and selecting the Forums link in the left column (you need to be registered for access). I tried to catch up with Craig McClanahan during the show to talk to him about this integration and the night of the Struts BOF I had a prior meeting to receive an award - so dang missed out on the BOF. BTW the Jcorporate Open Source Team for Expresso Framework, received the prestigious 2001 Java Community Award for Outstanding Group Technical Contribution to the Java Community, at the Third Annual Java Technology Achievement Awards event, held during JavaOne in San Francisco. This event was sponsored by Java Pro magazine and Sun Microsystems. This award was one of 5 Java Community Awards for 2001. http://www.java-pro.com/upload/free/Features/Javapro/2001/07jul01/awards/aw0 107-2.asp Sandra Cann [EMAIL PROTECTED]
