Hi, I have been investigating the differences between Turbine and Struts over the past few days, with the view to finding a good servlet framework that can be used with the JBoss application server. It seems to me that you cannot use Turbine without a database, as it is essential for such tasks as security and session tracking.
This means that for each new server installation the turbine tables will need to be recreated, which is not as simple a process as with JBoss's hot-deploy container management. Also, I understand that Turbine was first released in a non-J2EE world, but if one is already doing database manipulation with JBoss it seems inefficient to use Turbine Security over JBossSX. Please note that I am not flaming Turbine in any way, it seems a great end-to-end web application solution, but the advantages of EJB's with regard to robustness and scalability makes me lean to encapsulating all database work within their confines. If Velocity was integrated into Struts in some way, it would seem an ideal solution. If I am incorrect in my findings above or have missed anything, please let me know. What framework do you find best in the application server context?
