Hi, We were using struts as a development methodology/framework. Really cool idea but overblown for most web apps. We are now back to CF and using a methodology from www.benorama.com It's nice, supports internationalisation, MVC, n-tier and it's a lot simpler than Struts which means that it's quick to develop with. True, it doesn't have the validator but we found that to be a little rigid "straight out of the box". The workflow stuff was a little lame too. CF is far nicer to work with.
my 2 cents anyway Jordan -----Original Message----- From: Smith, Don , CTR , WHS/PSD [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 14 July 2003 9:50 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Anyone using Jakarta Struts for cfmx? Is anyone using Jakarta Struts for CFMX and can they comment toward its use? I am looking for a published development framework that would be flexible enough for development in, plus allow our team to investigate new technologies outside of CFMX -I like what I read of Struts' integration of Java technology but I haven't implemented it yet. I'm working with some staff for whom integration of existing Java libraries would be a stretch and others who could handle it easily, but it would require ramp-up time and education. I am hoping to find a framework that would allow me to point new developers to existing materials so I would not have to write up an entire "code like I do" book. I am also hoping that it would add something on top of CFMX and not merely reorganize CFMX without adding anything. How was your: Ease of development and organization Integration with Java for non-Java programmers Success rate in getting users to adapt THANKS!
