Hi All What is the state of play with WebWork / Struts Action 2.0?
I am trying to come up with a design / architecture / proposal for a new aspect of an enterprise project. I have been reading the WebWork in Action book, and I have come to the conclusion that it is best to start a brand Action-Oriented framework using WebWork 2.2. I found the design decisions in the book to really solid, and not fanciful. Especially like the decision to use OGNL as the EL. I have a requirement to possibly build a new web application to support portlets and also be displayable in a standard Java EE webapp server in the future. Does WebWork 2.2 support portlets? Basically it looks like the web application has to support two view styles. One style is the classical Tiles and regionalisation of the JSP view. For instance you would have a corporate header, footer, a navigation menu and a content area. This is something that every web developer like myself has done over the last five years. The other style is to chuck all the extra tiles stuff away like the header, portal and menu system. For the portlet view just render the content region. The content view is the same as it would with the Tiles regions. What I want to know is this architecturally possible to develop with WebWork now or is this on the book of work to do? I have called this a ``style'', but now I come to think of it ought to be called a ``mode'' as in mode of (render) employment. Thoughts are most welcome, even from the Component-oriented people.
