Dakota, Last week, I wrote about three messages voicing my opinon that I think it is an error to accept Shale under the Struts banner. I still hold that to be true, but I also see the justification of the commiters, which are:
[1] Struts is now an "umbrella" label to contain MANY frameworks. As the old Action 1.x framework phases out, others will come in like WebWork/Struts 2.x, Shale, etc. [2] Many companies recognize the Struts label, so having Shale called Struts Shale allows your manager to instantly buy into the technology. [3] IBM has certified Struts; so this is certification for Shale too (ala point #2). [4] Sharing the Struts community with Shale is a big win for JSF. I can't really argue with these opinions; their reasoning is sound. The philosophy is certainly much different than mine and I prefer Struts to be the name of ONE FRAMEWORK ONLY TO PREVENT BRANDING DILUTION, but I was told by a Commiter "what difference does it make to you?" Well I certainly won't be caring anymore with that kind of response :) I cared because I was interested in not diluting the brand name but... I can only care so much since, in reality, it's not my decision and responsibility anyway. -- Paul __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
