I'm not sure what to make of this statement. Turbine is a web-application framework and contains code useful for presentation as well as persistence. The persistence framework is separate and could be used with any servlet or other gui frontend. Turbine's presentation framework is flexible and allows multiple technologies to be used (jsp, velocity, etc.). Struts was started as some felt that a system that concentrated on only using jsp as the presentation technology would be easier for those trying to learn jsp. Now I believe struts is going in the direction of allowing templating systems such as velocity to be used as well. (Which I guess should be expected as velocity kicks butt over jsp.) So I would not say turbine is a struts for the back end, though torque, stratum, fulcrum (subprojects of turbine) can be used with struts or any other presentation layer. john mcnally -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
