Do you mean that they wish to have it running locally or that they want to see a native UI application rather than a browser application? If it is the first scenario then why not simply give them a zipped up tomcat server with the web-app already deployed and either a script to run it or ask them to install it as a service. If you really need an installer then create one to do the same thing.
In the latter case then you're going to need a lot of code, firstly for the UI and secondly to get all the data from UI components on to your actions. You would probably do better to just use your model and service layers from the web app ignoring the Struts side of things altogether. If you really need something in the future that would be relatively pain free to have both web app and desktop versions then perhaps take a look at Eclipse RCP and RAP.. whether the reality lives up to the dream though is an exercise for the reader :) M -----Original Message----- From: Christian Grobmeier [mailto:grobme...@gmail.com] Sent: 15 March 2012 15:26 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Advice needed: Offline Struts App Hi, yes I know Struts 2 is a web framework. But recently somebody told me he would love to see a desktop version of my app instead of a cloud based version. I think this would be great for me too. Now I am considering different ways... not sure, probably somebody here already did the same in the past. I mean, many of the interceptors are probably not necessary in a desktop app. My Action are there - I could use them straightaway without interceptors (or some other great features of Struts). Basically I would just need to replace my HTML/JS frontend with something else, probably JavaFX. Anybody around who had a similar job with S2 in the past?
