We are talking here about the user submitting a form from a JSP page: the fact that I've got request and action form both populated, doesn't suggest me any added value in maintainability, it's simply a duplication of data. We chose Struts as web framework not because of Action Forms (not yet at least, and not until we'll assure that the advantage is real and not that we must use them just because we're using Struts), but because we think that some of its features (particularly driving the web application logical flow), the native support for internationalization, possibly the use of Tiles (we're still deciding) and, when possible, the use of dynamic forms, are nice to have. But after today's discussion, I'm going to evaluate with our senior architect whether it's worth having the validation thing done by Struts, paying in performance. To process objects in the JSP page, we'll use JSTL, and this rest assured.
As regards performance versus maintainability, if you are delivering a site visited by hundreds of thousands of people at the same time, performance plays a big role, and half a second could make the difference between a returning customer and one who goes to the competitors. Could you please answer to me about the possibility of using the struts-bean tag library without having a struts form? Is that possible? The internationalization bit is a big advantage. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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]
