The best overview is in the "Proposal Details" link pointed at by the Wiki: http://wiki.apache.org/struts/StrutsShale (which is also the README.txt file in the source code repository). The next thing I would do is look at the source of the "Use Cases" example application, and compare the amount of stuff you as a developer have to do to what would normally be done with Struts. You'll see that the JSP page has a basically similar amount of complexity (there's a custom tag for each component), but the config files and the Java code is a lot less complicated (no separate form beans and actions, ViewController is in request scope so no issue with using instance variables, and so on). You can get nighty builds of this stuff at links pointed at by the Wiki page above. > > Regards, > David Craig --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
