Struts is a large, complex and largely superseded framework (by
JBoss, Spring etc) - the .jar is several megs in size, requiring
considerable configuration. Given the amount of HTML in Freenet,
then one would think a lightweight templating engine might be more
in order: Apache Velocity for example. [ http://
velocity.apache.org/ ]
Velocity is ~300K, easy to configure and could run in a single
servlet. Content could be kept in HTML and other content files that
could be designed / built / tested outside of the container in
regular tools.
I must agree with the fact that Struts and similar frameworks (Wicket)
are too huge to be delivered with Freenet.
I have seen struts in action... DON'T DO IT! :)
IMO it would be *alot* of work to port, for a negative benefit (it
would be bigger, slower to start, slower to run, harder to maintain...).
I (for one) like the HTMLNode mechanism, even if it is a bit
'different' it is a more methodical way of making a web page; and you
never have to worry about closing your tags. It's even theoretically
possible to build the page with multiple threads.
Surely there is a better way to make it more readable or support
javascript better (if that is the issue).
HTMLTable table = new HTMLTable();
table.tr();
table.th("Peer Nodes");
table.tr();
table.td(new PeerCicle(data));
page.add(table);
???
node.code("<b>insert raw html here</b>");
