Simple question about Struts

[E. Laverdiere]

Hi all,

I've studiing Struts for the past 3 weeks because I have done a generic Jsp
content-management web site connected on a MySql database using a set of
custom tag libraries following the Manning book Tag Librairies. So I am
still new at Struts, and I would like a simple advice over the Struts
framework. I was hoping to adapt my site to a Struts framework to gain some
architectural strenght and, by re-using the work I've done with Strut, I
thaught, limit the future development when doing another site with the same
framework.

My question is : Can a Strut web site be modify or upgrade without the
outcome of a java programmers? I means without the creation of multiple java
classes? It seems that if you want to add a page, or modify the parameter or
the validation of a form, you must go into the java classes that controle
this form and add some logic into it. Without questioning the strength of
MVC, in a first glance, it seems that this framework is not light-weight and
demands some real professional effort to adapt or modifie any web solution
using this structure. So, maybe, loosing the goal of building a generic
solution?


By the way, I think I have having a virus a day (just got one) with this
mailing list, nobody scan the mail before sending it?

Regards,

 Go check out Chuck's book to see what Struts can do and how easily it

  There are a bunch (understatement!) of talented folks on the list that
 aren't scared to give their opinion.  Oh, and you might also search
 oreilly.com articles for rolling blogger to give you some ideas of
 how you can automate Struts configuration type things.  I haven't looked
 at his system in depth, but, as I recall, he builds his design on Struts
 (and Velocity, and ...).



This is the site for Roller: http://www.rollerweblogger.org/
It has a link to the O'Reilly article. I can't say too much about it
because I haven't poured through the code much either, but it deployed
quite easily.

Has anyone used Allaire's JRun and Struts yet?  If so, are any of you fine
people willing to share tips or tricks of what to do or not do?  Thanks in
advance.
