does the pkg extend the jasper pkg?

are you really using all those s2 plugins?!

In the context of Struts 2 and from my personal experience as a Struts
framework (pure java-centric) user that does not do webapps development
for a living I would have very much appreciated:

1-. A rather colorful set of Struts Blank applications where you could
get out of the box:
 a) Several UI themes to choose from with professional look and feel
=> no worries about graphic design etc (this alone takes away all
efforts involving HTML, CSS, Velocity, Freemarker, and maybe some of the
Javascript too)
 b) A selected and consistent setup of plugins and sensitive
dependencies e.g. dojo, tiles or sitemesh, struts menu, displaytag
(afaik many of
    us Struts users seem to use/need it) ...
 c) Couple of system level concerns implemented out of the box e.g.
user management, authentication.
 d) A scalable design e.g. a generic CRUD mapping and best practices
illustrated for implementing c)

2-. Struts 2 full-fledge implementation of the "Pet Store" tackling real
life web application use-cases in addition to the showcase.
3-. Struts 2 IDE support e.g. wizards for generating #1

I have been recently trying to create a #1 for my company branch using
AppFuse as starting point (btw managed to port it to S2.1.2), but it is
a nightmare because here we don't use Spring, Hibernate etc and skinning
out all that out of AppFuse along with their low level access to Servlet
API, overall is becoming a daunting task.

Well, documentation was initially a big issue for me, because of S2
being a relatively new framework. Now there are really good books in the
market specially the "In Action" I can't put it down ... btw I still owe
a review for it in amazon

... just my 2 Cuban pesos :)

Giovanni

As I said:
I'm not that a great coder, and not an expert php or java coder.
Coding pure logic in java or php goes at a nice pace.

Once you are in the loop where you got a variable, object, list/map/tree
of stuffs - and need that converted to something html'ish ... then for
me php is far easier to do that with. Struts2 is not. And I have max 2y
on-and-off hobby experience with php.
Zend isn't silver bullet AS I SAID, but it's definitely easier. Notice
how random coders jumps on it wagon... how many kids jumps on struts??
More or less none...

Are we talking about being productive? Make stuff fast? Time to deliver?
Or are we talking about something else?

Let me Quote:
" Some frameworks, like Ruby on Rails, speak directly to "time to
market"
concerns and have been gathering many followers."
BECAUSE ITS EASY TO GET STUFF DONE. DON'T NEED TO BE GEEKISH or 3y+
EXPERIENCE. You even don't need college... sad really.

I just stated that struts2 are not making me productive. Notice how
often I say it's difficult to find and fix problems related to X.

PHP + notepad++ - no debuggers or ide. No particular tools. But I get
stuff done... even I'm amazed, cause look at php as a language or zend
as framework - certainly not pretty.

I just made a huge rant on java and struts not being productive for me.
If you get exception error because of 3 words - that's your problem.
Someone asked me what slowed me down - I answered. Maybe my answers is
just noob errors or whatever, I don't care. I just don't think or feel
I'm productive. Others here favour JSF... I don't see ppl being
productive with that either. Sure it got some nice stuff I want to try,
but that's pretty much it.

Maybe in 5y I'm doing magic and got total different problems, but that's
then. Not now.

Let me start with I think struts 2 is great

- like some of the others the size of the technology stack and UI seem
to give me the most trouble as well.

  Some things I've had to deal with in struts 2 are:

  1. The tags - I decided to not use the struts tags as I prefer to
use JSTL and JSP EL as they allow me to style the pages as needed and
there seemed to be some overlap in the functionality - I had to also
write my own JSP tag to get errors out of action errors so I could place
specific messages in any location I needed. I tried extending the tags
but they gave me some trouble so instead I created tags by extending
SimpleTagSupport which was much easier for me.

  2. Validation - since I'm using Yahoo User Interface Libraries
(YUI) and my actions are returning JSON or HTML fragments returning
INPUT didn't really work out so I removed validation in favor of doing
it in the ActionSupport class. I'm not sure if there is much struts can
do about this one.

  3. I'd have to say I've stayed away from ognl in favor of JSP el.

I'm not sure if the above is due to some of my misunderstanding but
above are some of the things I ran into.

The above is small in comparison to what struts saves me in terms of
time by using Interceptors, populating my classes for me and placing
data on the request.

Since it's friday, let me pose a question to the group ...

Even with rock-solid frameworks like Apache Struts, it still seems
like web application development takes longer than it should. Some
frameworks, like Ruby on Rails, speak directly to "time to market"
concerns and have been gathering many followers.

But why does web application still seem so difficult or so
time-consuming? Are there time bandits that still suck days or weeks
out of your development schedule? Are there time gremlins that
"nickel-and-dime" you every hour of every day? Is there anything more
that frameworks like Apache Struts can do to help? Or are just there
intractable problems with web development itself?

Thoughts? :)

Note that in the upcoming 2.1.x release you can use the
"jsonValidationWorkflowStack" and automatically get action errors
directly in your JSON results, using the validation framework out of the
box. There's even a very small JavaScript module that integrates with
what's expected to be there using the Struts tags, so you can do your
submit and display of errors entirely with the Ajax request. You could
then use the exact same form and do a regular non-Ajax submit and do the
exact same validations (if you wanted to).

I verified this with a simple test case, using YUI 2.5.2 and Struts2
2.1.2.

Hi David,

That sounds great - thanks for tip. I'm going to grab the Beta release
ASAP.

Use a proxy, live headers, etc. AFAIC it's not the responsibility of the framework to show what's on the wire.

Just to provide a counter-anecdote, we've been happier with S2 than almost anything else in Java land so far.

Maybe don't say that too loudly since some of us are the authors of those books.

Again, counter-anecdote; I've worked with three outside companies and have had them up-and-running on S2 in under a week. (They were already Java houses), including simplistic Spring usage, which was also new to them.

> I believe Struts2 was made by a Geek trying to get rich.

Guess what: S2 was made by geeks trying to get work done.

Most of us don't get rich from working on open-source projects, and quite frankly I take a little umbrage at the insinuation, so I'll cut this short--it's too close to the weekend to be baited.

> Stupid ppl can start code very fast in php.

And this is a *good* thing?

If you think inheriting an S2 project is difficult try dealing with an ad-hoc PHP app: there's very, very little worse in the world of computers than PHP apps.

As far as PHP-the-language goes, don't even get me started.

Dave

I'm really bad at that game; they get me every time.

Dave

I'd like to +1 the sentiment that we have too many layers and too many
options for each layer.

I'll resist the temptation to try to list various layers and options --
there are just too many.

What I'd like to add to the discussion is the theory that there is a
natural selection/evolutionary force that causes there creation of lots
of layers and options.

Consider an open source product, say, Struts 1. To do its job, it had
to perform multiple functions. I consider it primarily a controller,
but it had view parts, data transfer parts, database pooling, etc.

In abstract terms, it performed functions W, X, Y, and Z. But it was
*good* at function X -- the others were just needed to fit the pieces
together.

Along comes another developer, who likes Struts 1. But he thinks
function W could be revamped, so he creates a new product that performs
function W (arguably) better than Struts 1. Assume it is popular, and
the best practice, what-every-body-does is use Struts with the
replacement W.

Then the same happens to function Z.

Then someone realizes that function W really could be split into
functions R, S, and T. She creates a replacement that is really good at
function T, but R and S aren't that good.

And the process repeats in a Darwinian pool of evolving goo.

I'm not the best historian, but isn't this is exactly what happened to
Struts 1? It had tags (that got replaced with JSTL). It had database
pooling that got replaced with container-managed persistence. It had
actionforms that got replaced with POJOs. (Evolution is occasionally
backward!)

This isn't a Struts problem directly. It is an open-source problem.
Java seems worse because by its structure it encourages developing thin
layers of objects that call objects that call objects.

In conclusion, the bad news is that we're in an evolutionary period.
The good news is that we're in an evolutionary period.

Hi @all...

Are there any other themes or styles or stylesheets for the Struts 2.1.2
datetimepicker available?
Or do I have to overwrite all css classes to change the appearance?

The "dropdown" is very small so its really hard to pick a date. FYI: It
looks like that in IE7 and Firefox 2.

(if not, causes trouble "Error running apt.exe compiler", e.g. if build is
started under Eclipse, which is started by JRE, not JDK).

Problems with Tomcat session replication are really a Tomcat issue, not
a Struts issue. You will likely have more luck asking on the Tomcat
user's list. You should include more details about how you configured
Tomcat for session replication, too, since that seems likely to be where
the problem lies.

Hi!

I've been trying to build struts2 2.1.3-SNAPSHOT, svn'ed today
but without success.
The error seams to be related to xwork.. which I just built
from source (just svn'ed), too.

Can any kind soul help me, please?
