Thanks to Vance, Christian, Laurie and others who responded to my query. I understand the Struts cartridge and have limited exposure to it in AndroMDA. I have seen a few apps developed and I always wonder if they are 100 % Struts compliant.
Thought 1 - It would be nice to have a Struts compatibility verification Tool Kit which can certify if a particular Web Application is compliant with Struts and also grade it on some numerical basis. Thought 2 - I would like to see Enterprise Software mature itself on the Technology front so that it becomes measurable. The whole point of the previous two thoughts is Goal 1: Reduce learning curve, re-learning Goal 2: Ensure compliance with standards ( in this case it is with Struts and related specs ) Goal 3: Make Enterprise Software development more easier/faster/better. I feel the above goal(s) can be met when the meta-model / meta-definition of the various technical parts / aspects of Struts like the specific mechanisms for 'M','V' and 'C' are published by the Struts body / community. Once we have a formal definition ( structured syntax and semantics ) of Struts ( in addition to the description of the API's, JavaDocs etc ) we can feed that formal meta-model into any tool and generate real world applications that are 100% compliant with Struts. Does anyone know of a MOF Model of Struts anywhere ? I am curious to know if the Struts body has published it somewhere. In the case of the present day AndroMDA templates for Struts, how can one be sure that code generated is 100 % compliant with Struts ? An apache supplied meta-model would help ensure and check for Struts'ness' of Applications !! What do you all feel about this ?
