I noticed a few similarities to ASP.NET in Struts (from a 30,000 foot level). This gave way to a few questions. I am also curious to know what anyone else thinks of this comparison:
BACKGROUND In ASP.NET (for those not familiar) there is now seperation of code form content, similar to thatr achieved in JSP model 2. They do it via "CodeBehind". Effectively, every .ASPX file (new ASP extension) comes can have a .ASPX.CS compliment file. This CS (C-sharp) file is effectively then the same thing as the classes written to facilitate the controller for various JSPs in an MVC model. QUESTION This got me to thinking....being new to Struts I don't yet know the answer to this question, but in ASP.NET it is considered 'good practice' to set the values of the ASP you will forward to, in its compliment ASPX.CS file. Ok, so say that you are editing someone's registration info, the info is populated in the form. You wouldn't use tags to grab the data and set it into the form field. Rather, in the ASPX file you would have (a custom tag - aspx:field name="x" />) and then in teh aspx file you would set the value of the field: form.field(x) = 'xyz'. What I am wondering is ... is there a similar mechanism in Struts? .... or must you pull the values via tag (sort of a pull vs push approach it seems)... Thanks.
