Stripes is incredibly hard to use if you use it wrong
I hope that doesn't scare anybody off! ;) There are some best-
practices to follow that will help make things easier, but I think
that any difficulties developers might run into are relatively easy
to fix. When I say 'relatively', I mean in comparison to other
frameworks. Your IDE can refactor Stripes code more easily because
there's less config-forced indirection and more type-safety.
When choosing patterns for implementing Stripes in your own app, one
big thing I would suggest to newcomers is to skip the BugZooky
example (which needs to be updated) and instead go with Freddy
Daoud's book.
You're absolutely right. The BugZooky example set a few of our folks
off in the wrong direction and created a bit of internal resentment
about Stripes that's been a bit hard to overcome.
Aside from BugZooky, the documentation very usable and clear. If you
do the obvious/easy thing, everything works great.
I haven't found any anti-patterns, instead, I like to say, if it's not
easy then you're not doing it right.
Philip, if you get around to doing a more detailed posting, I'd be
interested to hear any Stripes anti-patterns you've gathered.
Chris.
