Subject: Comments on Struts framework From: "Sriniavs Paruchuri" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> === Gurus,
I started reading about Struts only y'day and thanks to many articles, I could get some knowledge about Struts in a short time. Here are some of the comments made by my colleague and I want your opinion on them 1) Struts is a framework for a web application (web server centric) not for an Enterprise J2EE Application (EJB centric). [srinivas] As per my reading till now I disagree with him. Struts does not limit us to go for EJB 2) Structs framework is designed based on the Model-View-Controller architecture and it wraps the Controller part and does a little bit for the View, but does nothing for the Model. [srinivas] I understand the strong point of this framework is Controller and View and it is upto developer to have a model. No limitations by framework. 3) Must spend time to learn its syntax and structures [srinivas] Same with any other framework? 4)Even for a web application, developer still need to do the major work including business object, transaction management, and complicated connection pool management. [srinivas] I guess web app server provides transaction and connection pool management but still we need to develop our own business objects. 5) For EJB centric application, most work will be in EJB objects which has nothing to do with this framework [srinivas] Can EJB be part of this framework? 6) If use Struts framework, our product will rely on its libraries which may have bugs and not so liable like Sun's java libraries. So it may cause maintenance problems. ?? 7) If we choose EJB centric design, all the transaction, session, thread, connection pool, and resource management will be very well handled by the EJB container. In the case of Struts, web container is used only as request dispatcher or request controller plus the View part ?? thanks, Srinivas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
