Ben, Would it be helpful for you to explain what Struts offers and what J2EE Fusebox offers? I imagine some people won't immediately understand how they contrast and compare.

It pretty much comes down to each one does certain things better. Fusebox, and Struts, and CFCs, and ColdFusion are all just means to alleviate the pains of developers. They are essentially "tools" we use to get a job done. All of them provide a different piece to the puzzles we try to solve as developers, and each do so in a different way. Each piece has different side effects, or does certain things better while doing others worse (or not at all). CFCs are not a replacement for anything(!), they are an alternative. If the alternative is better then you use it as a substitute. They provide a different way of doing things we've pretty much been able to do. -----Original Message----- From: hal helms [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wed 5/22/2002 10:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Subject: RE: SuperQ functionality with the STANDARD core (Re: MVCquestion) I've heard a couple of people argue/worry that CFCs will render Fusebox unnecessary, as you've done Ben. CFCs are a simple implementation of some of the qualities of first-class objects, such as Java has. But Java, even with its full fledged objects, still needs the Struts framework. I think CFCs are going to be fantastic when used with Fusebox, but I don't see a component replacing an architectural framework. -----Original Message----- From: Benjamin S.
