Thank a lot for your answer. I read in this article http://jroller.com/page/jcarreira?entry=re_script_aculo_us_vs that WebWork want use dojo. I think Struts2 wants to use dojo because there is more widget than scriptaculous. I think that if Struts2 doesn't integrate dojo in the distribution, prototype/scriptaculous will be not use.
It's not a question of which one has the most widgets. Prototype, and hence script.aculo.us, is fragile, especially in a portlet environment, so we cannot, in good conscience, encourage people to use that to build robust enterprise-ready applications. Since Struts supports portlet development, we don't want to have to say "oh, but you shouldn't use our AJAX tags if you're building portlets". The thing to keep in mind, though, with Struts, is that even if we don't want to bake in support for Prototype et al, it's just as feasible for others to build add-on tags based on Prototype - or any other JavaScript toolkit, for that matter. I know prototype/scriptaculous, but not dojo. But if Struts2 will not
integrate scriptaculous, I will learn to use dojo. Nevertheless, I'm afraid that with dojo we can't write valid XHTML and that some effects like drag/drop of dojo will be not as good as drag/drop of scriptaculous.
I'm not sure why you say you can't write valid XHTML with Dojo; you can. There are three ways of adding Dojo widgets to your apps. Yes, not all of them will give you XHTML that will validate, but at least one of them does. And as for effects, they're getting better all the time. Have you tried 0.4yet? -- Martin Cooper Regards Angelo
