You're the one doing the work, so you certainly have the right to
disagree with me/us and do it however you'd like. Therefore I won't
respond to stuff that's a matter of opinion, just items I believe to be
false.
2. The published Struts 2 books (Struts In Action, Using Apache Struts
2) don't commonly use the %{ } syntax and most examples published on the web
don't use the %{ } syntax.
I was a reviewer for the latter, and I stressed throughout my reviews
that I thought it would be a better idea to be explicit about the OGNL
expressions. I don't recall the reasoning, but I guess my suggestions
were ignored there, too :-)
5. For better or worse the current widespread usage of Struts 2 by Java
developers is usage that doesn't use %{ } unless necessary.
From where do you derive this conclusion? I've mentioned this
suggestion on the user's list a number of times over the last several
years, and I have often gotten responses of the form "I agree, and I
have my whole team do this," etc. So while you may be right, I
certainly hope not, and moreover I don't know how to validate either
conclusion.
6. My plan for these tutorials is after I've taken the user through
common use cases (form submission, validation, use of Service classes, use
of Spring) to have a few tutorials on OGNL.
I guess context is the most important factor. For tutorials it might
make sense to have "controlled exposure" to complex topics. For
reference examples, though, I think that argument does not hold and we
should still be explicit.
