Hi, Reading from below "we want users to embrace and know JQuery", that's a powerful vision.
I have thoughts about creating something with others that will be around for at least a couple years. In a few weeks, I plan on starting this project. I've heard great things about the Google Web Toolkit and thought about using it for this next project. The other people I plan on working with like working with Java a lot more than JavaScript. As someone pointed out to me, jquery and Google Web Toolkit (GWT http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/ ) are very different. Will using GWT clash with struts2 focusing on jQuery? I wouldn't think so. [OT?]Will using GWT tie our hands and thus not avail ourselves of stuff jQuery has available? Architectural / technological choices like these are always interesting. :) Thanks for your help. -- Michael Finney - "Always Striving To Serve You Better Every Day" fin...@acm.org http://www.SmilingSoftwareSolutions.com -----Original Message----- From: Wes Wannemacher [mailto:w...@wantii.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 11, 2009 6:20 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: struts2 and dojo <clip> I've started and received significant contributions to a JQuery plugin. JQuery is a better fit for us than Dojo was because it is slim, well-tested, and seems to stay mostly API compatible. There are a few design decisions being made differently with this plugin. Mostly, rather than providing a complete abstraction from Javascript, the goal will be to provide some helpful tags, but expose as much as possible. Rather than trying to fit everything into the tags, we want users to embrace and know JQuery. <clip>decided to go with JQuery as it has become very popular and very easy to extend. -Wes -- Wes Wannemacher Author - Struts 2 In Practice Includes coverage of Struts 2.1, Spring, JPA, JQuery, Sitemesh and more http://www.manning.com/wannemacher --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@struts.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@struts.apache.org
