Re: Axis & workflow based services

[Bill Keese]

Never used Laszlo before but it sounds like both laszlo and struts are libraries for building your presentation layer.  Thus, you should use one of them, not both.  Why are you talking about struts?

That's why I can't get to struts, axis will be processing the request first.

I can't use a standard MVC framework like struts since the request is sent to AxisServlet, right? As far as I understand, people usually talk about separating the "presentation layer" and the "business layer", rather than separating the "view layer" from the "business layer". So, it sounds like you should write the presentation layer (model, view, and controller) in struts, but the struts Actions should call the "business layer" via web services. IE, the parts relating to displaying web pages and to web page flow should be in struts, and the Business layer contains "support" functions like "addEmployee()". What do you think? Bill
