Interesting. We're actually considering prototyping a solution that uses a bit of both. I'm thinking about using the MVC framework of Struts to implement application flow control, using stateless EJB to provide services and using JSP or a servlet to transform the resultant value objects into a nice DOM tree which I'd then pass off to a XSLT Processor to do the final work.
I know that a lot of value of struts is in the tag libraries (internationalization, validation, etc.) but I still don't like the way that JSPs windup looking like something that a programmer would have to modify, rather than a web designer. I think XSLT gets us a little bit closer to an end goal of separating presentation from content. How do other people feel about this? Has anyone here looked at Cocoon functionality? I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts. --Michael Minh Tran wrote: > I'm pretty new to struts.. so I would appreciate if anyone can share their > experiences with Struts and XSLT Transformation for the Web UI generation. > I am starting a project pretty soon.. and the project lead is pushing to do > a Servlet-XSLT model where XML + XSL will be transformed to HTML for the UI. > I am currently pushing for Struts.. but I need some more ammo so that I can > push struts as the framework for us. > > Thanks, > Minh Tran
