Hi Rick, Unfortunately Visio is a commercial program and 'yes' you do have to fork out money for it. I've seen new copies of MS Visio 2002 auctioned on eBay for about 75 stlg (110 euros / USD).
After working on various client sites I've noticed that most companies usually have a copy or two kicking around somewhere and I've become quite accustomed to it. Visio has been around for a fair few years now and sports quite a polished GUI, it's great for quickly throwing together diagrams with the pre-drawn shapes, pictures and stencils. Better yet it allows you draw your own shapes and stencils and hook into the object and event model with Visual Basic. See, Microsoft aren't all bad! (Well, I suppose they did just buy the rights to Visio as oppose to developing it themselves!) As Andreas said, I've just made some shapes and written a parser in Visual Basic which scans your diagram and generates your XML struts config file. (Although I like to think it does a little bit more than that!) Hope this helps, Steve. -----Original Message----- From: Rick Fincher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 31 July 2002 16:26 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Visual GUI Designer for Struts Hi Steve, I see Visio is required for this. What is Visio? Is this a commercial program that you have to buy to run your GUI?
