which development tool to use?

[mi...@lynx.de]

Hello,

I hope my question is not too off topic for this mailing list:

In the last weeks I struggled around with JDeveloper as an IDE for creating web
applications with Struts, but
it seems that it has some problems with the message resource files for the
action servlet (see my question
earlier in this mailing list).

So I would like to find out which tools you use to develop  your web
applications, especially how they are
debugged.

Did anybody use JBuilder and has good experiences integrating with Struts?

I would like to read your suggestions, thank you.

Regards

Michael

Emacs and Jakarta-Ant.  What bugs? ;-)

Unfortunately, that approach is unlikely to work.

It's not just an issue of having the right servlet API classes (which are mostly
interfaces).  The servlet container has to support all of the required functionality
-- most importantly, it needs to understand what a web application archive (WAR) file
is, which 2.1 based containers don't.

Hacking Servlet Mill

[Julia Reynolds <ju...@healthstream.com>]

Well, Craig was right and our problems with Struts and Servlet Mill apparently
stem from
the fact that it is Servlet 2.1, not Servlet 2.2 compatible.  Can we just replace
the servlet.jar file in Servlet Mill with the 2.2 servlet.jar?  Is that safe, or
will it
break Servlet Mill?

I have been using struts with Forte for Java, Internet Edition for the
past couple of weeks and have not come across any major problems. Simply
following the struts documentation had me up and running pretty quickly.

Has anyone done much development with Forte for Java, Internet edition
with Struts and care to comment on your thoughts?

We also use VAJ 3.5 with Tomcat and Struts.  It's nice to be able to 
develop, run, and debug within the same environment.  Since the generated 
JSP code is part of the IDE, it's a simple matter to put breakpoints in the 
generated JSP if necessary.

works perfectly can debug throught the jsp's (not really jsp's but the
generated servlets)
Can change code on the fly without restarting anything.

Check out Forte for Java Internet Edition (IE).
