[ajug-members] Thin-Client web based application question

[Bill Siggelkow]

Can you elaborate on your driving motivation in considering Velocity? 
Have you built web apps with Velocity? While you can use Struts and 
Velocity together, its been my experience that Struts plays much easier 
in a straight JSP (w/JSTL) environment. That being said, there are 
boatloads of opinions considering whether to use Struts, JSF, or some 
other web framework. Just google "java web framework" and you will have 
plenty of material to research.

<shameless-plug>
If you really want to use Struts and Velocity together, check out the 
Jakarta Struts Cookbook. It's got a recipe that shows how to do it ... 
along with a bunch of other cool stuff. I was reading it the other 
night and I just couldn't put it down ... it's even better than the Da 
Vinci Code!
