The following page has been changed by DonBrown: http://wiki.apache.org/struts/StrutsTi/OriginalProposal New page: #format wiki #language en = Struts Ti 2.0 Proposal = Struts Ti 2.0 is a simplified Model 2 framework for developing webapps which allows the developer better access to the underlying servlet/portlet environment. It serves a niche of web applications that donât want the additional complexity of server-side components and verbose configuration, yet want the structure and controller features of a modern web framework. Struts Ti 2.0 builds on the directions of Struts 1.x, yet re-implements the framework to provide a clean slate for the next generation of Struts Ti. It aims to combine the simplicity of Ruby on Rails and !NanoWeb, the refinement of !WebWork 2, the tool-friendly authoring and Page Flow of Beehive, and the lessons learned from Struts 1.x. == Repository == {{{ /core /taglibs /flow /el /apps /plugins /shale /framework /clay /mailreader /tests /use-cases /tiles /bsf /build /sandbox }}} == Key Features == * POJO-based action that combines an Action and !ActionForm in a similar manner to JSF backing beans and !WebWork 2 Commands * Intelligent defaults utilizing naming and placement conventions to require minimal, if any, configuration per page, however it will be possible to override everything on a global and per-action basis * Configuration can be âassumedâ or declared through annotations, xml or properties files, or any other pluggable mechanism * Pluggable EL for data binding defaulting to JSP 2.0 EL but allowing OGNL or even !BeanUtils * Integration of a dialog or page flow capability drawing from Beehive, Springâs web flow, and Shaleâs Dialogs. * Per-Action optional interceptor chain ala !WebWork 2 * Built-in dependency injection support == Design Goals == * No servlet dependency in core framework * Spring-based dependency injection in core to allow for pluggability * No bias to any view technology * Ability to layer Struts 1.x compatibility on top * Highly toolable * Smooth integration into a portal/portlet environment * AJAX-friendly == Implementation == * Built on the backbone of commons-chain * No restriction on multiple Servlets and/or Servlet Filter implementations * Key decision points (action selection for example) use CoR chain for maximum flexiblity == Dependencies == * Servlets 2.4 * Java 1.4 runtime, Java 1.5 to build * JSP 2.0 if taglibs used --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
