Let me add more confusion then ;-) Whatever 3 you mentioned are not the only 3 in this boat, There are lot more like Baracudda, Turbine/Torque, Cocoon and many others that i don't know. Not to forget, you can create your own framework also (either from scratch or on top of any one of these)
I guess Industry/Developer Support to Struts is getting increased day-by-day. Lots of IDEs are having Struts support to fasten the development. No need to metion that it is classic MVC2 model. I am using Struts and i am happy now ( after a little of problems ;-) -navjot singh ----- Original Message ----- From: "Butt, Dudley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Struts Users Mailing List'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2003 2:31 PM Subject: RE: Webwork vs Struts vs Maverick please help | Ok guys this is getting out of hand, please is anyone out there that can help me with some info, I appreciate the responses so far, but now theres | Maverick aswell, any comments. | | Basically, what we need is a web-development framework. We want to develop for a Java Environment. | We will deploy to BEA Weblogic 7 SP 1 on Win2000 and IBM AIX. | We probably won't need to port our stuff to Applets or Swing. | We may use Jasper reports and Webservices later on, as provided for by Weblogic. | | Which one will be the best to get our job done!!!!

I | personally find WebWork a lot easier. Here are some of the things I think | WebWork does better: | | * To perform simple actions with Struts requires a _lot_ of coding from | ActionForms to Actions to relatively large config entries. If you look | through the archives, I posted a comparison of what it took to create code | in each framework. | | * Struts is strongly tied to the web layer making it inappropriate to | directly place business logic there, WebWork isn't. I find with Struts, I | end up using it as a wrapper layer around POJOs. Again, increasting the | amount of code required. | | * Struts has a larger, albeit more low level tag library. The WebWork tag | library is smaller, and yet I feel like you can get things done quicker as | the constructs are higher level. | | * Finally, with Struts, the typically model is to use the ActionForm to | receive input, the Action to wrap the business logic and response content | gets placed into the request attributes. That seems pretty messy in | comparison to having one disposable object to contain all these items. | | All in all, I think WebWork has a definite edge over Struts. With the | upcoming WebWork2, I think it's hands down in WebWorks favor. In addition | to an even cleaner separation of business logic and presentation layer, | WebWork2 also implements a highly customizable interception framework that | enables aspect-oriented development. | | In any event, I think it's worth a couple days to give it a try. | | | | | | NOTICE: | | This message contains privileged and confidential information intended | only for the person or entity to which it is addressed. | Any review, retransmission, dissemination, copy or other use of, or | taking of any action in reliance upon this information by persons or | entities other than the intended recipient, is prohibited. | | If you received this message in error, please notify the sender | immediately by e-mail, facsimile or telephone and thereafter delete the | material from any computer. | | The New Africa Capital Group, its subsidiaries or associates do not | accept liability for any personal views expressed in this message. | | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | | NOTICE: | | This message contains privileged and confidential information intended | only for the person or entity to which it is addressed. | Any review, retransmission, dissemination, copy or other use of, or | taking of any action in reliance upon this information by persons or | entities other than the intended recipient, is prohibited. | | If you received this message in error, please notify the sender | immediately by e-mail, facsimile or telephone and thereafter delete the | material from any computer. | | The New Africa Capital Group, its subsidiaries or associates do not | accept liability for any personal views expressed in this message. | | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
