Mr. Danny Rubis, I put MVC on my resume, and I only know how to use Struts (I didnt write the ActionServlet or anything similar to what is in the struts src). So what? Action classes are also part of the controller framework. When I write the Action class and define the struts config, I am writing a part of controller as well.
Should people stop writing EJBs on their resume as well, since some of just use some IDE where we have to implement the bean class and the IDE does the rest (ejb-jar entries, home, remote interfaces). How about Java? Many IDEs allow use to use the wizard, and I only write the method body. I may not have a "seen" a Java class (something that resembles "public class A extends.. ") for ages. :-) Just kidding with you Mr. Rubis, I am vi guy, but I hope I made the point. --Rich ----- Original Message ----- From: "Danny Rubis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <SERVLET-INTEREST@JAVA.SUN.COM> Sent: Saturday, August 13, 2005 7:48 AM Subject: Re: No Java Servlet Programming 3rd edition?
Hey! I have been with servlets since day one. You may recognize me for I responded many times years ago when servlets were been formulated and thereafter answering questions as a mentor on this list. For the most part, servlets have evolved into some thing good. I don't like the "higher up the stack" based on servlets, i.e. STRUTS and I probably won't like JSF. I have written a 'better' STRUTS. It is much faster and much easier to add capabilities. My apologies go McClaughlin, et al. For one, I just don't think XML is a good way to communicate with the Controller in the MVC model. If I have some time, maybe when I retire, I will write something on how to write a good Controller. Most projects 'out here' don't need the enormous overhead of STRUTS to do an MVC. How many files do you have to create? Five??? I really don't know because I just don't use and don't need STRUTS. BTW guys, don't put MVC experience on your resumes just because you know how to use STRUTS. I see that on so many resumes. Only the writers of STRUTS can claim MVC. Jason, that being said, I don't care which Approach you take. Just write something so we can have some fun and you can make another "million dollars" (quote by Dr. Evil). :>) I'll buy your book. Sans adieu, Danny Rubis
