neat presentation.. we are in process of starting new app development and have selected struts2.x as a web framework
after bitter experience of tap4.x
Nice one Pat. :-)
Mittal would you tell us more about your experiences and choice to switch?
Mittal, At the risk of going off-topic, I'd love to hear about your experience with Tapestry 4, as I'm sure to would the developers of that framework. Also I'm curious as to whether Tapestry 5 will address your issues.
Philip,
Here are some of the reasons which made me thinking,
- all page classes are abstract, no DI via spring possible. I think Tap5 takes care of this one.
- null handling for individual and nested properties. We had to implement additional interface called "NullHandler" and register all our objects instead of writing not null checks cluttered around views.
- AJAX integration was pain with Tacos and Dojo but got it working.
- No roadmap for migration from Tap4 to Tap5.
These were some of compelling factors at least to get thinking about alternative framework.
On other hand, ramp-up time for Tapestry wasnt that much may be 2 days to get it up and running and kicking off project development
Thanks

Is there second edition for WW or Struts 2.x coming up ?
Philip,
Here are some of the reasons which made me thinking,

- AJAX integration was pain with Tacos and Dojo but got it working.
- No roadmap for migration from Tap4 to Tap5.
- This is a classic one, if there are any html controls within tap form by default it puts focus on first control it finds and to prevent it one has to set a property to false. I received some QA bugs related to this issue.
These were some of compelling factors at least to get thinking about alternative framework.
On other hand, ramp-up time for Tapestry wasnt that much may be 2 days to get it up and running and kicking off project development whereas it seems there's FUD about steep ramp-up time for tapestry
Thanks

I'm trying out S2. Being familiar with S1 I find the new S2 features that came through the framework wedding very thrilling. It is important for us that the framework supports XSLT which it obviously does and it was really easy to get a simple example working.
However I struggle with custom adapters that produce custom XML other than what is created by the standard adapters. The Javadoc says I can register my custom adapter with registerAdapter method of AdapterFactory. But where do I call this method? Where in my code do I have access to the AdapterFactory instance so I can register my adapter? It also tells me to look at the examples but I cannot find any concerning custom adapters...
Any help is greatly appreciated! If there really is an example can you tell me where to find it?
Dear all,
In order to better understanding and using of Struts2, I have created
the Animated Tutorial for Struts2 that shows how does struts work.
My goal for creating this document was to show basic primitives such as
request scope value stack, action classes and objects to someone who wants
to select between web frameworks such as Struts, JSF, Tapestry and etc.

First of all you must read the readme.pdf and then start with first scenario.
Any opinion about this tutorial is appreciated.
I'm looking for your helpful opinions.
--kind regards

Brian Marick takes us through a quick tour of the most important values and challenges to adopting Agile successfully (they aren't the typical challenges and values we hear in the community).
The line between development and architecture is tricky. Does it exist at all? Is an ivory tower actually needed? There's a balance in the middle, but how do you move from developer to architect?
The word 'authority' sometimes produces an allergic response in hard-line agilists. Freedom and authority – both are bad if misused and both are good if used in right spirit for a noble cause.
"Getting Started with Grails" brings you up to speed on this modern web framework. Companies as varied as LinkedIn, Wired, and Taco Bell are all using Grails. Are you ready to get started as well?
Those familiar with only ITIL V2 often scoff at the thought that ITIL could serve as a governance framework for SOA. With ITIL V3, the focus of the framework shifted towards service-orientation.
SpringSource CTO Adrian Colyer discusses AspectJ, SpringSource's dm Server and tc Server products, OSGi and Scrum.
Heroku's Adam Wiggins talks about Rails, Background Jobs, Add-Ons, Ruby, and how Heroku manages to work around Ruby's inefficiencies using Erlang and other languages.
For Grady Booch the foundation of a good architecture is patterns, SOA being just one of many patterns. In this Second Life presentation, Booch attempts to bring more clarity on what architecture is.
