Hi There Lucio, While I'm not sure about all of your questions, I think I might be able to add some info on the following:
1.) "Or does that mean that I will lack important features like entity beans and ORM?" && 2.) "Is Beehive tied to Struts or is MyFaces pluggable into Beehive?" 1.) beehive has a feature called jdbc control which allow for easier jdbc access. This uses an annotation to declare within the control interface the sql used to return values. These values can be mapped to objects in an orm manner -- That said another option exists. One can use ejb3 entities (jpa) outside of a j2ee container, provided that java 1.5 is used. 2.) beehive uses struts however it does integrate well with JSF, so its not entirely an 'OR' type equation as your question implies. That said, I don't have direct experience with integrating beehive into jsf apps. Perhaps others on the list can add more info, Jason. -----Original Message----- From: Lucio Crusca [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, September 08, 2007 6:18 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Newbie questions Hello *, I'm new to Beehive and, before starting with it, I'd like to understand a few things. Please forgive me if my questions seem silly, there's a chance I have not fully understood what Beehive actually is... 1. How mature is this project? (I've seen it's incubator page) 2. How active is it? 3. How many people are using it? (someone, hundreds, thousands, ...) 4. I've seen on the wiki the 1st item in the feature wishlist. Integration with J2EE Appserver. Does that mean that Beehive is not usable in production together with Geronimo or JBoss? Or does that mean that I will lack important features like entity beans and ORM? 5. Is Beehive tied to Struts or is MyFaces pluggable into Beehive? 6. Is Beehive a suitable framework to develop a little e-commerce website?
