This might be a dumb question but for those of us not able to make ApacheCon, are there any videos of the presentations online anywhere?
Chris -----Original Message----- From: Martin Cooper [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 14 December 2005 20:22 To: announcements@struts.apache.org; user@struts.apache.org; dev@struts.apache.org Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Apache Struts offers "Shale" for JSF 14 Dec 2005 - To give JavaServer Faces developers a head start on building scalable web applications for the enterprise, Apache Struts now offers the Shale Framework. Like the original "Struts Action Framework", Shale provides developers with a front controller, and several other components, to provide the "invisible underpinnings that hold an application together". "When JavaServer Faces arrived," explains the Struts website, "our development community chose to 'make new friends but keep the old'. Some of us want (or need) to stick with the original request-based framework. Others are ready to switch to an component-based framework that builds on JavaServer Faces. We offer both frameworks because we have volunteers to create and maintain both frameworks." Shale is based on the recently standardized JavaServer Faces APIs, and focuses on adding value, rather than redundantly implementing features that JSF already provides. Shale will run on any compliant JSF implementation, including the one being developed by the Apache MyFaces project. It also includes many features that Struts users appreciate, such as supporting client side validation and the Tiles framework. Struts Shale was discussed by Craig McClanahan in a talk at ApacheCon on Tuesday, December 13, 2005, entitled "Shale: The Next Struts??". Slides from the talk are available online [ http://people.apache.org/~craigmcc/apachecon-2005-shale.pdf].
