What's more, the on-line help on the Expresso list is probably the best I have ever encountered.. In fact, I suspect the lead developer of the project is a vampire so he never sleeps..;) You can also pay a pretty nominal amount for prime support - and if you contribute to their open-source project, I believe you can even qualify for free support!!
Re. your earlier question, here's my 1 cent: we have been working on a long (2+ years and counting) project. Version 1 involved a lot of "home-grown" servlets and jsps. Version 2 involved building additional functionality and was written in a combination of servlets and Struts (due to differing degrees of familiarity of the developers with Struts). Version 3 (currently being developed) is written entirely in Struts. I can tell you that every time the clients either notice a bug or want to change or add behaviour, we give a collective groan if it has anything to do with non-Struts code! But if it is the "later" code, we just breeze through it..:) Regards, Geeta Andrew Hill wrote: > You might want to take a look at Jcorporates OpenSource Expresso framework. > http://www.jcorporate.com/ > Ive not used it myself yet so cant give you an experienced opinion, but it > uses struts and provides whole bunch of other goodies which migh help you > get a head start on your project. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Lauri Jutila [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, 29 October 2003 07:04 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Planning Struts Application Development > > Hello folks, > > I'm engaging in a web development project and my team is looking at > Struts as a primary framework candidate for the application.
