One disadvantage of Struts is that there are no high-level tools for modeling, viewing/creating workflows, etc. There are also not any good productivity tools for generating skeleton code/actionMappings and the like. Yes, I know about struts console and several IDE plug-ins, but none of them do what I'm envisaging. Another disadvantage is that there is not compile-time checking of property references, since everything is done by reflection.
These are not "problems" with the framework per se, rather things that would be nice to have. my .02 > -----Original Message----- > From: Dan Cancro [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, September 12, 2002 9:57 AM > To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' > Subject: RE: Disadvantages of Struts > > > Here are some examples with source code I've seen mentioned > on the list > > http://www.scioworks.com/jpetstore/jpetstore-camino.html > http://www.keyboardmonkey.com/downloads/index.jsp > http://sourceforge.net/projects/struts > http://www.rollerweblogger.org/ > > Dan > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Michael Lee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Thursday, September 12, 2002 7:47 AM > > To: Struts Users Mailing List > > Subject: Re: Disadvantages of Struts > > > > > > No real world examples and no good documentation describing > > those examples. > > This email list helps that. > > I'm also going to see if I can release some of my code here > > open source when > > I'm done for an example for just such a reason.
