Ok, so we got it nailed down these statements... - The Struts Controller doesn't add more overhead than a high performance site should be able to handle. In the regard flexibility contra performance, using the controller makes your application manageable with negligible overhead.
- There was also the everlasting discussion on EJB's be or not to be. I think that there are loads of variables that affects the choices of the design and that there still remains some issues with EJB's. However when only using stateless session beans with DAO's I think that the scalability-flexability-performance goes hand in hand and makes a preferrable design choice. Anyone disagrees? Would be nice to hear your opinions. - But what was not discussed was the overhead of custom tags. This seems to be a question much avoided everywhere. When talking about flexability. Oh yes, use them. They makes your pages much easier to build and manage. They also makes for a great design of the application. BUT (capital letters), what about the performance overhead of the tags? When designing a web site where the absolute focus is to be able to handle as many transactions as possible to a low cost. Doesn't custom tags become very expensive to use in a case like this? There must have been extensive testing made on this. Does anyone have any facts or thoughts on this? ____________________________________________________________ Tired of all the SPAM in your inbox?
