Hi, As we have also rolled our own solution, I'll just add my two cents. As Tim, we found that the existing frameworks didn't fit quite well into what we wanted to do, (that was even before Struts was created) and as we wanted to integrate other features... Following the Model 2-controller

This may be off topic a little, but I am a little disheartened to see so many people disregarding EJB when considering a internet application framework. If you disregard transactions (NotSupported), and follow a few simple patterns (see java.sun.com/j2ee) you basically are able to build a

Is anyone here besides Tim using XSLT in their web application? I've been using XSLT for some time. I think a lot of the MVC dicussions show that people haven't yet hit on the right application model. MVC really works well in an environment with shared state... and ahred access to objects. The

We do exactly what you propose. A servlet drives lightweight commands. The commands get XML trees containing the HttpServletRequest information, and fill in a subtree with the XML results. This tree is fed into XSLT and the resulting HTML is sent down the wire. I prefer it over JSP by miles. We

It sounds like Tim has a homebrew system for going directly from Logic to Presentation. My team has been thinking of eventually writing a wrapper to expose JavaBeans (the model) as a DOM using reflection so you could still have a pull-based system rather than having to build the full tree

We rolled our own servlet for this. I found none of the existing frameworks to properly address what we needed. It is not a complicated thing to write. An XML config file specifies the commands that get executed for any given pathinfo. The command is tied to an XSL stylesheet, which processes the
