Then designers can create html prototypes which can be used to get the look and feel down and approved by the business client/end users, and the developers can work on the business objects. Then you can get together and tie it together using Struts.
It has worked well for me so far. By the time I get back with the person/people doing the interface, most of that has been flushed out so the designers' main job is taking their prototypes and converting them to the view compenent using the appropriate tags, and any changes to the design of the pages are small. --> stu: www.stuology.net It just no longer is plain simple safe fun when it's the psycho chimp that has the ray gun ------------------------------------------------ Stuology -- A million monkeys can't be wrong > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael Delamere [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, July 29, 2002 1:23 PM > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: Re: uncoupling Web Design/Web Development > > This may not be ideal but the way we do it is that the designers give us > their static content (html pages) and we feed it into the jsps/velocity > templates. > > That way we have more control over the dynamic elements in the webpage > and > they can play and fiddle with their html code as much as they like :-). > > Regards Michael > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Greg Hess" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Struts Mail List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Monday, July 29, 2002 8:10 PM > Subject: uncoupling Web Design/Web Development > > > > Hi All, > > > > I have designed a web application that is dependant on a work flow, > the > user > > interface is constructed by Web Designers and the server side is done > by > Web > > Developers.
