Hi all,
I have inherited an extremely poorly managed website where everything
was coded by hand using Struts and Tiles and no DB. Any change required
open Eclipse and editing Tile, .vm, .properties, and all sorts of files.
It would be quicker and neater to write raw HTML. Needless to say, I
want to do away with all this hand written XML and whatnot and use
something more robust and manageable - Lenya.
However, there is one part of the app that I do not want to rewrite. I
guess it's really the part of the "app" that is an app. It's uses SOAP
to communicate with a server on the LAN that handles reservations. It
checks for availability. Before my times, we outsourced the creation of
this app.
The main thing I would like is not have to resort to using an iframe or
maintaining the layout (css, images, menus, etc) for two different
websites and try to make them look like one.
Has anyone done anything like this before? If so, first of all, I'd like
to know if it's possible. Then if I can't figure it out, I may come back
and ask for help. Another thing I'd like to ask advice on is: how much
should I expect to be charged by the company, that we outsourced the
creation of this app to, for them to integrate it with Lenya. They seem
to be rip off artists. So I want to know what is reasonable.
You can see the website here:

The booking section is the part of the app I want to keep. Yes, it's a
wreck. Which is why I'm trying to bring some order.
I've found a few hints in the archives about integrating Struts with
Lenya, but nothing substantial.
Any help or advice is appreciated.
Thank you,
Simon
