Re: [Springframework-developer] Documenting Web Framework Integration Options

[Juergen H. <ju...@in...>]

Matt,

Thanks for volunteering :-) Indeed, there's a big gap in the web framework
integration docs. It's probably best to factor the Tapestry section out into
a separate chapter of the reference docs and add stuff on the other web
frameworks there.

Regarding WebWork2, it would be good to mention it. Let's not discuss the
details in the Spring docs, though, as we'd have to catch up with the Spring
support in the XWork/WebWork optional package then. An overview of the
integration approach plus a reference to the OpenSymphony website should be
sufficient.

Subject: [Springframework-developer] Documenting Web Framework
Integration Options


Hey guys,

I've noticed that there's a lack of reference documentation on how to
integrate the various web frameworks with Spring.  There's information
on Tapestry, but nothing on JSF, Struts or WebWork.  While I can
understand the lack of WebWork documentation (since Spring doesn't host
the classes), I'd like to help out and contribute what I've written for
Struts and JSF.  I'd be happy to contribute WebWork as well, but only
if you think adding it to Spring's documentation is appropriate.

If you're interested, please let me know what reference files I should
modify.  Tapestry's documentation is under "views.xml" - but it's not
really a view.  Maybe there should be a new file created that explains
generic web framework integration (by getting the ApplicationContext
from the servlet context) and specific integration strategies for JSF,
Struts, Tapestry and WebWork?

I was planning on modifying (or adding) the existing XML files and then
submitting patches to JIRA.  Is that the best option?

Thanks,

Matt
