Advice needed: Offline Struts App
Hi,
yes I know Struts 2 is a web framework. But recently somebody told me
he would love to see a desktop version of my app instead of a cloud
based version. I think this would be great for me too. Now I am
considering different ways... not sure, probably somebody here already
did the same in the past.
I mean, many of the interceptors are probably not necessary in a
desktop app. My Action are there - I could use them straightaway
without interceptors (or some other great features of Struts).
Basically I would just need to replace my HTML/JS frontend with
something else, probably JavaFX.
Anybody around who had a similar job with S2 in the past?
Cheers
Christian

Interesting option. Not sure if I should cross the AIR path. But it
lead me again to JavaFX: they have WebKit integrated (same as with
AIR). Don't know if that works very well, but it is in Java, and that
might have the benefit people don't need the AIR runtime in addition
to Java. Anyway pretty cool links you sent, and definitely worth to
consider.

Another option that might work for you is an Adobe AIR app. There's a
sample AIR web browser app [1]; install that demo and test your S2 app in
it. If it works out properly, you can embed your Tomcat stack in the AIR
app [2] and customize the browser from the sample to interact with your
embedded Tomcat instance.

Actually no, I didn't. But you are right, it might make sense to
figure that out!
If you have any more hints/links etc in that direction please let me know.
What was your frontend technology? Swing?
At the moment I need both, Web and the Non-Web features. Will try to
see if I can separate these for my two apps.

Christian, have you considered using XWork? Struts2 is basically a web
implementation of the command pattern framework implemented by XWork.
I worked on a project where I embedded XWork in a non-web-app and was
very happy with it.

Its actually the latter case :-)
I thought I would reuse my action-classes, as they contain a good
bunch of business logic. I think it is what you meant with service
layer. My current plan is actually to let the Struts stuff go and
replace the UI with JavaFX. It seems you are advising the same (or
similar) :-)

Do you mean that they wish to have it running locally or that they want to see a native UI application rather than a browser application?
If it is the first scenario then why not simply give them a zipped up tomcat server with the web-app already deployed and either a script to run it or ask them to install it as a service. If you really need an installer then create one to do the same thing.
In the latter case then you're going to need a lot of code, firstly for the UI and secondly to get all the data from UI components on to your actions. You would probably do better to just use your model and service layers from the web app ignoring the Struts side of things altogether.

Thanks Hantsy,
but my web app is already done in S2 and I am very happy with it.
I have tried Wicket and its really not my cup of tea. I even tried
Spring MVC, but i don't like it very much too.
I just need a chance to reuse my code for an offline-app.

Re: Advice needed: Offline Struts App

I suggest you use other framework such as Stripes, Spring MVC instead of
Struts1/2.x.
Struts development progress is too slow, after three years of Spring MVC
jsr 330 support, struts 2 begin to support it, and Struts 2 still does
not support jsr 303 officially, and REST support is also not good as
Spring MVC etc.
Of course, personally I like component/event based framework such as
JSF/Wicket.
