Obviously this could be a heated debate on TSS but that aside here are some points to start the discussion. I'll let others add/delete/edit from mine.
- WW provides provides custom tags in the form of themes. Struts does not provides this. Anotherwords, you can create your own set of dynamic custom ui tags easily; i.e., voice xml, xhtml, wml, etc. Another point is that the rendering of these tags is abstracted nicely. - WW will provide action chaining which struts doesn't at this time. - WW provides native support for multi-part support. Struts provides custom action for this. WW wraps the request so it behaves as a normal HTTP request. - WW provides a robust expression language to easily fetch data. BTW, the new JSTL will provide a similar capability. Hmm, where did they get this idea? - WW does support i18n. - WW will cast your parameter to the appropriate type for you. struts does not do this. it only supports strings. - WW supports multiple view technologies such as XSLT, Velocity, JSP, Applet, and soon more. I don't know of any other MVC-like frameworks that support this. - WW is aimed at providing part of the web tier solution. For instance, many people use it with OSCache, Sitemesh, and other complimentary frameworks. - We haven't profiled WW yet. This needs to be done. - We still have lots to do but I think we have a solid start. Check it out and tell us what you think. -Matt On Thu, 13 June 2002, Steven Haines wrote > > Hi, > > I need to develop a J2EE application using an MVC > architecture.
