[Springframework-developer] Spring vs Struts (was: interface21 Properties editor in BeanWrapperImpl)

[<jue...@we...>]

Hi John,

What exactly would you like to see an example for? Reusable business =
logic services via Spring? Validation not tied to web classes? For a =
start, the box office demo application coming with Rod's book shows =
both. Indeed, we need lots of additional documentation and best =
practices guides... but currently we're still busy implementing and =
refining ;-)

I didn't mean to imply that Struts would not allow for reusable business =
logic at all. It just doesn't support it in any way, so you have to find =
or build a suitable infrastructure yourself. Therefore, many Struts =
applications just separate at the web MVC level: Business logic ends up =
in web controllers but not in dedicated business logic services. That's =
where using Spring as middle tier framework for Struts web apps makes =
sense.

Of course, Struts shares this particular limitation with other web MVC =
frameworks like WebWork. This isn't meant as offence, such =
infrastructure is simply beyond their scope.

Regards,
Juergen

I would love to see an example and explanation of this. Maybe I'm just =
thick
headed but I just don't get it. I'm sure others would too.

Thanks,
John
