[Webwork-user] Using (Swing-) beans in webwork ...

[Hristo S. <hr_...@ya...>]

Rickard-,
I think I can commit code/docos to sourceforge now!
Unfotunatelly, I'll be on a business trip for 3-4
days. But, when I get back I'll put some stuff for
orientation with WebWork (seems there is a lot of
confusion for what webwork is, what is in the source
tree and HOW THE TAGS WORK). I have to see if I can
recover all previous posts in both jBoss and Webwork
lists, with little cosmetics this would be a nice
"introduction".
About the idea of layering Swing components(JMenu) -
we should "adapt" them to the Action/SessionAware
interfaces. And that is where the JDK 1.3 Dynamyc 
proxy may come to help - why not generate dynamic
proxies whithin the Dispatcher.java servlet which now
instantiates the actions? I think similar things are
being done in JBoss and Orion app server when they 
adapt to the remote interfaces... Just an idea!

Yes, that occured to me too, and I looked through the
Swing API and 
found
the getSubelements() stuff too. I haven't tested this
yet, but it 
should
work! :-)
