It appears to me that BC4J is an Oracle dependant web framework you cannot take code developed with Oracle BC4J and plug in another database. Struts can be used with any database. I think BC4J provides a larger infrastructure than Struts also. Struts provides a basic framework whereas BC4J goes deeper and defines Entity and View objects. Struts does not have an equivalent. Usually Struts developers will code this level themselves. Struts seems to be cleaner to me. You get the basics for a good framework and then code the parts you need by hand. With BC4J you start out with a whole mess of stuff and seem to pick what you want. This can be good or bad I guess.
As for j2EE. I would consider Struts to be the more J2EE compliant of the 2. BC4J gets tied too closely to Oracle. > -----Original Message----- > From: Yibing Li [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, May 06, 2002 4:52 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: BC4J versus Struts > > > Folks, > > We are going to develop our web application using Struts as our Web > Framework > and JDeveloper as the IDE tool.
