Taking the plunge
Aloha,
Our company, Get2Hawaii Inc. has made the decision to use Struts for our
web-tier.
We simply must have our beta done by the end of the month and there is a TON
of
work to be done. So, I wanted to say hello and thanks in advance for answers
to my questions etc. I'm sure I'll be asking them.
I'll contribute what I can this month but my timeline is tight so I'll most
likely
be more interactive in April. We have a lot riding on our beta and there is
no
way I could meet my deadline without struts.
Mahalo (thanks) to everyone involved in bringing this project to a point
where
I can safely stake my job on Struts.

The elder I am the more tend to think that runtime
performance is the very last issue and communicability
of the design tend to climb up to the first place.
And XML is a special animal as it is defined mainly
for machine to machine communication (I mean it is SGML
without the lightenings targeted for human authors but
made the parsers more complicated).

The "canonical solution" is wrong, jsp:setproperty needs a property
attribute as well. (Q.e.d syntax is tough. It is becoming harder and
harder working from heart or simply I'm too old and my brain does not
serve as needed.) Sorry for that. incze
