I had a discussion on #java with Epesh, and he expressed the sentiment that WW2 might be turning into a too complex system which will alienate new users and be popular with the gearheads and such when it leaves nerd-domain. After reading the responses to the Simplicity in WW2 email I must

Anders, I have to say that this is a _bad_ idea. You can already test actions to setup xwork.xml - just instantiate the object, call your setter methods and run! People doing J2EE understand XML, they have to. All descriptors are XML. Xwork.xml is not _that_ complex for a hello world example,

from an outsiders point of view.. i think i'd have to admit that requiring a proper classname everywhere would actually increase complexity. but it is nice to be able to think of actions by their name, it seems a but superfluous when you're constantly changing their names.. i like thinking of

Just to play the devil's advocate, people using full J2EE are unlikely to be huge xwork/webwork fans anyway. Unless of course you mean servlets/web containers, rather than J2EE. As surprising as it is, an app with xwork, webwork, lucene, hibernate, sitemesh, and oscache is not a

Well, it's a J2EE app in my book - personally I don't agree with Sun (see my blog's AVK rant) that a J2EE app _must_ contain EJBs, JSPs etc. Either way (J2EE or not J2EE) people who use WW, XW, Lucene, Hibernate etc are used to XML files - that was my point. M On 18/8/03 10:37 AM, Hani Suleiman

I would agree with a previous poster that forcing the use of fully-qualified names is actually less error prone. It may be a longer string but that doesn't mean it's harder to use (ms worth of typing saved). The big advantage is that refactoring tools will be able to find the references correctly,

I would argue against anything that would increase the possibility of subtle errors. If a solution like the one you suggest could be done while fireproofing against problems when classes change packages, then I wouldn't be so against it. I just hate having to track down subtle bugs in a system

Well this isn't a matter of opinion. J2EE contains JMS, EJB, connectors, JNDI, RMI-IIOP, servlets, jsps, and JTS. An app that uses just servlets could be called J2EE technically, sure, but since it's using such a tiny subset with a specific identifiable name (web apps), it's a lot more

A whole big bunch of people. If you want to show progress of batch processes, a web app is probably the absolutely stupidest way of doing it. A request/response paradigm is a pretty foolish way of providing continuous feedback. A swing client would be a far better choice. I'm not knocking
