For what its worth, I just recently wrote a small blog webapp which is utilizing WebWork 1.3, Hibernate and Sitemesh. Its not at all feature-rich yet, but it can show the latest version and some usage of the different technologies. I'd be open to throwing the code up on sf.net and having everyone hack at it, this could be the putting together of a nice sample app for version 1.3. And if some of you want to contribute on a doc for 1.3, I think this would be invaluable to new WebWork users.

Anyways, any thoughts on this?

For me, nothing beats a good tutorial and non-trivial sample application ( with
documentation, of course! ). You see, newbies need some sort of pattern or best
practise to follow. I think the lack of sample application endorsed by the
webwork team that demonstrate the pattern and best practise in using webwork
1.x was one significant issue that holding it back.

Btw, I notice the current xroller code in cvs is using common-sql instead of
hibernate, any reason ? I think it will help to promote webwork better if the
sample application is build with popular library like hibernate. For e.g, it
shall generate more hit if the sample application is eventually link from the
hibernate site. Also, may be there should be some sort of poll to find out what
area the sample application should cover to help promote the usage of webwork2.

*Sigh* That is sad. It would be great if someone wanted to help work on docs.
For me, I don't have the time and energy to work on 2 versions at the same
time, so my energy is going into WW2. I'm going to try to make it well
documented, to the best of my documentation abilities. This is especially
important as Xwork/Webwork 2 is probably conceptually more complex than
Webwork 1.x, although it will hopefully be less complex once you get into it
because of the lack of annoying little inconsistencies and quirks like the
many faces of the ww:property tag.

Oh, and if anyone from O'Reilly is reading, I'd certainly be open to
contributing to a Webwork book :-)

Sad, but somewhat true. I guess we need an O'Reilly "WebWork in a Nutshell". IMO WW rocks - but the lack of docs can be frustrating. I know this is a todo for WW2.0 - but 1.3 will be around for a while and need better docs too.

I'm currently collecting my experiences with WebWork - and will try to create some documentation from this when time permits. But this won't be enough... so is there an effort to produce quality documentation for 1.3?

Something like the docs at http://hibernate.sf.net would make WW sooo much more attractive.
