[Phrame-devel] Progress

[Tony B. <to...@to...>]

Ok, I have moved the concept of a form class into my code base.  I have 
also implemented support for an XML config file which, at least for me, 
seems much more readable and easier to write documentation against.

I have done some research and I now appreciate the difference between the 
original ActionForm (ala struts) and what I have implemented.  Having a 
validate method in the form is valuable but, IMHO, doesn't encapsulate 
that logic properly for best reuse.

In the code I have been working on, validation logic is no different than 
any other business logic.  Thus it is quite trivial to have a validation 
command that can be applied to one or more views which, I feel personally, 
makes reuse more plausible.

Also, I have done more philosophical thinking and I can appreciate the 
desire by some to adhere strictly to Struts.  I have reserved myself to 
being Ok if the code i have developed is considered 'struts-ish'.

Anyway, this code, in my best estimation can be considered more of an RC1.  
I'm going to generate the phpDoc documentation, create a tarball and let 
you all take another look.
