I have read the emails and discover that turbine and struts are basically the same thing competing with each other therefore I have a few more questions concerning struts and tubine: which one has been around longer? Which is more mature? Thanks for the help I am just trying to get my head around all the different programs running within Jakarta and seeing which ones I should use in my new product that I am developing. I currenlty use apache httpd and tomcat and I discovered struts and thought that was the way to go, then I saw the turbine and velocity and went HMMM they also sound interesting. What I am trying to develop is a large (I mean LARGE) enterprise portal where the information can be anything including geospatial, textural, video and others. THis will have pluggable web components into the system I will be extending one of the frameworks either struts or turbine for my purposes and I am trying to figure out which way to go by asking a few people their opinions as they have already played around with some of these frameworks.

For some comparisons see < http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00495.html > < http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg03206.html > < http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/ymtd/ymtd.html > > Shouldn't these different projects work a little closer together to create a > more coherent single package which incorporates the best of each? Many of the products work closely together. Jetspeed is actually a good example of several Apache products being used together. In my current project, I'm using several Jakarta technologies together, including components from Struts, Taglibs, RegExp, and Tomcat. But the real answer is that since this is a volunteer organization, we can't simply mandate that all the products fit together like they were cut from the same jigsaw. The volunteers who write the code make the decisions, based on their own experience, and feedback from other developers and users. -- Ted Husted, Husted dot Com, Fairport NY USA. -- Custom Software ~ Technical Services. -- Tel 716 737-3463. -- http://www.husted.com/about/struts/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
