JSF Vs Struts
Hi there,
I am quite experienced with Struts - I've started learning it when JSF where
just in development phase...
Right now JSF became java standard - and it's supported by tools like
MyEclipse and Exadel Studio.
So - I've got two questions:
1. is it difficult to switch from Struts to JSF for Struts-enabled ;-)
developer. How steep is the learning curve?
2. What are the benefits of such a switch apart from choosing more
standarized solution which appears to have more prospects for future?
Regards,
Wojtek

Very Simple Struts HTML tag question
Posted by Randy Shepherd <ra...@iwin.com>.
I realize that it is non-standard HTML, but I was wondering if the
Struts HTML input tag has an equivalent to the autocomplete parameter.
Non-Standard HTML: <input type="text" name="credit_card_number"
size="22" autocomplete="off">
Struts HTML <tag: html:text property="credit_card_number" size="22"
??=?? />
Thanks in advance!

There is going to be initial learning curve for sure. BUT IT IS WORTH it.
Struts and JSF are totally in different paradiam. Struts is Action oriented
and JSF is component oriented. When I moved from struts to Tapestry ( which
is also Component based) it was kind of tough. But after I understood
Tapestry it was relatively easy for me to move to JSF.
Very unlogical comparison for struts and jsf is procedural and object
oriented programming. Moving to OOP has some initial learning curve, but no
one can deny it is worth it.

Component based web frameworks is surely going to be there for a long time.

I have not found it terribly difficult, but I've certainly not gone
very far with it yet either. I think JSF contains a lot of the same
concepts of Struts, many implemented in a different way. It also
contains a lot of concepts Struts does not.
I doubt this is the best way, but here's how I learned it: I
downloaded MyFaces and looked through the MyFaces documentation.
There were several links to tutorials. One of them was a series of
slides that were very helpful to me. Once I get a bit more familiar
with Faces in general and what it's all about I plan to explore Shale
a bit more. Another way to learn is to just browse the Shale
messages that come across the list. You'll pick up on a lot
inadvertently.

I'm not going to go into the benefits of Struts vs. JSF. It's been
discussed over and over around here in the last 4 weeks. But to me
the benefit of learning JSF is to keep up with emerging technology
and have a more informed viewpoint on it.
