also, if you haven't already, be sure you look into the Velocity Tools subproject. a fair bit of work has already been done there to integrate Struts and Velocity. personally, i use the two together and am really enjoying the process. i'm of the lucky few :) that has had almost no experience with JSP, so i'm no doubt a little biased, but i don't think you need to worry about time spent learning Velocity. it's really quite small and simple; the basics can be picked up quickly. if you want to do JSP well, you can easily spend more time learning taglibs (unless you already know them of course). one thing that may ease your concern is that with the Velocity Tools project, it is quite easy to use both Velocity and JSP side by side. there are examples included there for that. also, the Veltag allows you to use Velocity right inside JSP (link below). the one drawback you should be aware of for Struts+Velocity is that not as many people do it yet, and there's not exactly prodigous amounts of documentation or examples floating around yet. the Velocity Tools stuff is a good start though, and if you look into it, be aware that much of the documentation for tool management and such is mostly in the javadocs right now. here's some links that may be of interest to you: Gabe Sidler's docs on Velocity+Struts: http://www.teamup.com/jakarta-velocity-tools/struts/docs/index.html Velocity Tools home: http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/toolsubproject.html Veltag: http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/veltag.html Nathan Bubna [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
