And that, in part, is what I would like to raise as one of your core issues: The java script library implementation. In the current case, you have chosen Dojo, a fine choice. In another dimension, the Struts2 team might have chosen prototype/sciptaculous. In either case, as javascript is required for core tags one would expect that you would naturally lever the capabilities of the chosen Javascript library. More importantly, however, we as users of the overall framework will be well served by levering the same framework for our own ad hoc javascript needs. My main point here, is if you adopt Dojo as an implementation then we as users have a lot to gain by levering the same framework. I agree with Don, the whole Web 2.0 terminology thing is out of hand and the definition of Ajax will change depending on who you ask, but don't let that take away from one fundamental truth, users are well served by leveraging frameworks like dojo as they attempt to pull the Ajax rabbit out of their collective hats. To that end, I think you have to begin by stating what your implementation is. Once you say, Dojo 0.4, then that choice exists at a level above theme and core tags. Indeed, you might well consider placing your themes under an implementation specific directory. In this way, should Dojo 0.5 arrive, or you decide to try another library all together, you can organize your themes and core tags by the new implementation. That and now the user has an unambiguous understanding of which javascript implementation is available for leveraging outside of theme specific core tags.. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted via Jive Forums http://forums.opensymphony.com/thread.jspa?threadID=54343&messageID=108942#108942 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
