RE: Struts, velocity, turbine, jetspeed, lions, tigers and bears... oh my

["Kuster, Egon" <Eg...@dsto.defence.gov.au>]

don't worry I am actually interested in the abilities of jetspeed and
therefore will most likely use the turbine engine MVC instead of struts. But
I am thinking of using struts to create the portlets within whole portal as
I like the idea of using beans for different things. Too many bloody bits
and pieces too little time.

I was initially only looking at struts but then I saw jetspeed which used
turbine and now I have to go and read up on turbine and jetspeed in more
detail.

Turbine + Jetspeed is a great combination if your application needs the
kinds of features they offer.  But if the best argument for Turbine is
that "JSP sucks balls", I'd keep looking  for some rational reasoning if I
were you.  :-)

Seriously, every framework has sweet spots and areas they do not
focus on.  You owe it to yourself to evaluate your own needs against those
capabilities.  The best way to do that is prototype based on your own
needs.

Oh, by the way, don't forget to decide how the frameworks you look at are
going to scale as your needs increase.  For example, Jon (primary
developer of Turbine) doesn't think much of EJBs either, so plan on having
to deal with those kinds of complexities yourself if you need that type
of functionality.
