blank.war vs. struts-blank.war [was: Re: Tools in Struts]

[Matt Raible]

I noticed that the "Struts Applications" project on SourceForge has a blank.war project and there's also struts-blank.war that is distributed with Struts. Which one is best to advertise as a good "starting package."

I hope to both 1) create an app based on struts advanced features (i.e. exceptions, tiles, validator, DispatchAction) and 2) create a base app with a how to about using XDoclet and a persistence layer using Hibernate or Castor. The hope is that a new project can start with this project (i.e. struts-xdoclet.war) and have ant scripts and samples of how to use Struts with a popular persistence mechanism.

I've been discussing this project with Erik Hatcher and my initial thoughts are to hand-code some POJO that generate persistent objects (i.e. using Castor) and ValidatorForms.

Even better (or maybe worse), I'm putting myself on a tight deadline for this (i.e. 2-3 weeks) so it resembles a real-world project.

Thanks,

Matt

(hopefully) most of the code can be generated.  Can I start a

If anyone is interested, I have a Struts project setup at
SourceForge that is open to all comers.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/struts

I wouldn't mind turning this into a Struts commons, where we can
all cooperate on developing various extensions to the Struts

core.
