When I started with webapps, I looked around what frameworks are available and who they help in moving ahead. Soon I was convinced about struts, but the different template packages didn't convince me at all. Following the discussion about white and black frameworks, I made up my mind to use something like tiles (and for so treating the webapp as black framework). But the homepage of the creator is last updated last year, the doc about "advanced tiles" has nearly the same timestamp and big parts classified as "outdated". Looking around in discussion-areas tiles doesn't play a big role - so I stumbled. Another big point is the big vacuum around the model (from MVC). But at all the time, I didn't found a problem or question where .NET was the answer. Who ever read the background of the jpetstore competition can not (IMHO) find a good word about .NET So I think, the problem is to bring the good pieces together to build a complete framework to start with. For my opinion - the java comunity already has good solutions, that don't have to fear .NET at all. cheers Reinhard --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
