Ok here we go:
If have these HTML-file:
file1.vm:
<html>
<body>
<a href="my.action">My Action</a>
</body>
</html>
file2.vm:
<html>
<body>
<a href="my.action">My Action</a>
</body>
</html>
file3.vm:
<html>
<body>
<a href="my.action">My Action</a>
</body>
</html>
Ok in real life they are much different, but the point is...
Let's say that my.action is not really an action, it's just a mapping to
a view, so my views.properties is something like this:
my.action=foo.vm
So when I click those links I end up in foo.vm file that is an Velocity
file (server side forward). And the process did not go throught any
action class.
I can the easily refactor my application by just modifying
views.properties, for example (my refactored views.propertirs):
my.action=deep/in/directory/structure/foo.vm
And the point is that I do not have to change all those
JSP/Velocity/etc. files to get to the new mapping.
And more importantly... what if I want to do some processing, then I
just refactor my views.properties logic, for example like this:
my.action=ValidateUser
my.action.success=validated.vm
my.action.failed=go_home_lame_hacker.vm
This is possible with Struts framework and I think that it is not very
difficult to implement with WebWork. Or do you suggest some other ways
to do this?
