I have generally worked in the exploded war way and while this works it
doesn't solve the problem (and problem is relative) of where all your source
code goes and what is what. And in hind sight I don't think we can put
views in a src path next to controllers and models because they aren't
really source code in a "gets compiled" sort of way. They would need to be
copied to the appropriate place on a build.
Freddy's quickstart is a step in the right direction but it has some flaws
IMHO. One is it doesn't internally take care of a development container to
run your app in. You have to either go get jetty, set a jetty home, etc etc
or run it in Tomcat which is another manual process the way Freddy has it
set up. Now for the absolute beginner this is a catch 22. While it might
be the simplest most understandable approach for learning, it doesn't help
you get started as quickly as possible because there are additional
downloads and possible setup required beyond getting stripes.
I don't want stripes to turn into Grails or something like it. I just want
to be able to do something like:
stripes-gen create myApp
stripes-gen run
And the only thing I need to download is a StripesGen or StripesQuickstart
package. Everything else is there for the basics of a new stripes app and a
server to run it on. I have all those pieces. I just don't have the right
scripts to bring it all together. It would also be a benefit to the stripes
community if we were, to some extent, following the same general practices
which includes project structure, IMO.
Anyway, I'm probably going to do something like this for myself at least. I
suppose I'll throw it out for public consumption at some point and others
can use it if they want. I just wanted to know if anyone else might be
interested in creating some sort of Stripes community standard.
