Expresso helpsa lot if you have been building action command mapping
in every single Action that you have written.
String action = form.getAction()
if ( action.equalsIgnoreCase("prompt")) {
...
return mapping.findFrward("prompt);
}
else if ( action.equalsIgnoreCase("add")) {
...
return mapping.findFrward("add");
}
else if ( action.equalsIgnoreCase("remove")) {
...
return mapping.findFrward("remove");
}
The ActionForm bean is redundant because Expresso
has its own controller element architecture. The powerful
feature to use Expresso would be the ease-of-use of its
database objects, especially if you work database-driven
applications. It is missing communication with store procedures
though.

Subject: Advice needed on Stuts versus Struts/Expresso
Hi all,
I've gotten a full app to work with Struts and have a good understanding
of how things are supposed to be done and work.
Now I am looking at possibly using Expresso to speed development.
In anyone's experience what would I lose by moving to Expresso. I can
see how it would speed development, but do I lose anything that struts
gives me? Is there anything that I would come across that I could not
do with Expresso that I could do with Struts?
I've read all the JCorporate docs on the struts integration and such,
but would like to draw on the experience of those more, well
experienced.
I guess I am at the point where I understand Struts so I am hesitant to
move on to something else if I will just be coming back to struts later.
My needs rotate mostly around rapid development of applications.
Thanks much for this information and all the previous help in getting me
going with struts.
PS. For anyone starting with struts, get Ted Husted's struts-catalog and
read it once a day while you are learning struts. In the beginning you
may not understand it, but as the days go on, more and more will help
you out. (Thanks Ted)
