hi, we are currently in the process of evaluating and/or restructuring an existing cocoon application. being a cocoon beginner i fail to see the benefits of flowscript/javascript for the controller layer.
of course it is a good practice to have an explict controller layer (control as in MVC), BUT: why does it have to be in a scripting language? imho, this has at least the following drawbacks (mostly related to crossing the java-javascript-boundary in eclipse during development): -cannot refactor java-javascript -cannot semantically search for usages of java classes in javascript and vice versa -cannot navigate (F3) easily between java-javascript -cannot easily unit-test the javascript stuff with junit -cannot debug javascript during run-time in the java debugger -business logic (or technical framwork-related logic) tends to creeping into the flowscript i would much prefer to do everything in java itself. so my questions are: -am i missing anything? -is there a recommended way to migrate the flowscript to java? -will this change in cocoon 2.2? any advice is greatly appreciated. thanks matthias Matthias Merdes Senior Software Developer _________________________________________ Heidelberg Mobil International GmbH Phone: +49 6221 533 254 Fax: +49 6221 533 129 eMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________ Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33 69118 Heidelberg Germany Amtsgericht Mannheim / HRB 701994 CEO: Thomas Reinhart ________________________________________ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
