[OT] Running one web application in another.

[Susan Bradeen <sb...@gmail.com>]

I have two web applications. App A is a finished, working web
application. App B, a work in progress, is using Struts and Tiles, and
has a requirement to essentially 'put App A in a content Tile' for use
in App B. This will in affect produce a 'portal-like' function, with
App A working as normal within the 'framework' produced by App B.
(Hopefully that makes some sense.) Housing App A is not the sole
purpose of App B, but just one functionality requirement.

>From a search in the archives, it seems that Tiles is not (or can't
functionally be) the way to accomplish this. Opening a second browser
and running App A in there is also not an option. I am not very
familiar with Frames (and I didn't get a good reponse when I brought
it up), but would this be my best choice? Other recommendations? Any
pointers to information about doing something like this are also
greatly appreciated. Googling for a set of options/pros&cons hasn't
given me much so far.

Thanks,
Susan Bradeen

Appologies for not being clear enough.

Good point.

No, not porting a non-Struts app to a Struts app. They are both Struts
apps to some degree. Yes, I am trying to get the two apps to co-exist.
The "put it in there" part, as you stated, was what I couldn't get my
head around. Finally realized I was going about it somewhat
arse-backwards, and most of the fog cleared. Thanks to you and Frank
for taking time to respond.

I am unclear as to what you want to do.  I realize you have two web 
applications and want in some sense one to port to the other, but beyond 
that cannot tell what the requirements are.  You could have many 
different requirements in that situation and which you do have is not clear.

On frames, that probably won't work if you already have frames in AppA, 
for obvious reasons, e.g. "target='_top'". 

I am assuming that you want to port a non-struts application to struts.  
That should be not difficult, if that is is.  Is it?  Could you be more 
explicit about the situation you face?  Is there any reasons why AppA 
and AppB cannot co-exist in the same application?  That would be the 
natural solution, if possible, viz. if you want AppA in AppB, put it in 
there.  However, your requirements may make that impossible.
