A co-worker and I were talking about this yesterday and I was curious of the following....
Seems like in order to develop a struts application, you'll have to pay for a private JVM instance so you can start and stop the tomcat or other JSP engine so that it can re-read the config.xml files.... Question 1: Any plans for struts to change in the future where you can dynamically add new actions and forwards without having to stop and re-start the web-server? I would guess (although I could be wrong) that this would be pretty easy to do within struts in the future? I assume struts is loading the config files in a DOM. Adding a new servlet within struts to reload the config files and update the DOM does not seem like it would be that difficult... Question 2: Supposing I wrote this app in struts and I could not find a sponser to pay the $50 per month fees to host a web-site... Well, I could reconvert the apps to a non-struts approach and then pay only $10 per month (because I would no longer need to start/stop the web-server and would only need to dump updated JSP's and such).... Is there a document/technique/pattern/advice on the best way to convert existing struts applications to non-struts? I know that putting javabeans back into the JSP files would be a royal pain but if it would save $40 per month, it may be the best way to go :-) thanks, Theron -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
