Is Beehive still an active project?

[Eirik Rude <er...@vurv.com>]

We are in the process of choosing a new framework to move all of our development to.  One of the frameworks being considered is Beehive since we are on Weblogic servers.  Can you tell us if this framework is still active, and if this is something we should be considering.

Thank you,

Anthony -

Not necessarily. Beehive has several parts; and yes, PageFlow is the web
framework of Beehive, and it is built on top of Struts. You forgot to
mention another part of Beehive, namely, the Controls framework. This
framework provides good encapsulation to complex JavaEE technologies, such
as JDBC, JMS, and web services, as a component model. For example, the Web
Service Control provides a java proxy class to a web service based on its
WSDL. If you are on the Weblogic platform, it provides additional benefit
since it integrates well with WLS, and it gives you feature coverage in
areas such as conversational web service, transactions, EJB Timer,
management console, etc. There are good support from the IDE as an eclipse
plug-in. I was involved in implementing some of the technologies at one time
and could give you more detail if you are interested.

Regards,
Xibin Zeng

Seriously - forget about Beehive - it's built on Struts and struts is crap.

Use Wicket.

Hi Eirik,

The user community is active but I feel that the development activity
has been limited. Contributions since the last release have consisted
of bug fixes, minor feature improvements/enhancements, and
documentation improvements. These types of changes would be
appropriate for a new point release (1.0.3) but it has not been
proposed yet. I really haven't seen activity or plans in the Beehive
dev community about future work such as Struts 2 support, etc. As an
open source project, contributions are always welcomed.

Kind regards,
Carlin
