my quick reasoning would be:
1. cppcms is more a framework, wt is more a library with api that provides
an ajax based mechanism (however wt is also a framework if you think that
you can write a standalone server with it...)
2. normally you can integrate a library into a framework, but the other way
around, is more difficult..
3. some templates (wt page skeleton widget) to create wt widgets would be
nice (to support that kind of the web designers job... layout, color etc),
but that would make wt already more a framework... Personally I asked the
authors, to include such a widget...
4. etc. :)
Personally I was analyzing/paralyzing all the existing frameworks. there are
some others like cppcms, abandond projects, mainly I did not consider them,
because they were abandoned...
I think cppcms would do its best choice to integrate wt into the
framework... I would be the first to use it !!! I need both the templates,
you are talking about, but also the flexibility of the ajax+signal/slot
mechanism. I have pages with different parts, and changes in one area
influences changes in other areas... so ajax+signals is the best solution...
But on the other side, it is annoying to combine all the widgets manually,
so i would be happy if the computer would do that for me, and I would just
provide the template.
So imagine the template library having some mechanism, where you could just
integrate a wt widget with some parameters.
As you can read in this conversation (previous answers), people have
different intentions to to with a web framework/library written in cpp. I
think is to combine if possible the efforts...
