Hi All,
I've developed several web applications over the last 10 years, mostly based on Perl CGI. The 2003 project I did
made me swear off CGI and look for something that does a better job of maintaining session and data across pages,
among other things. Struts seems to fit the bill.
But: what's a recommended set of tools to use? I've been working a bit with Netbeans 4.0 on sample applications and
it does a fine job building a .WAR file for deployment. But it doesn't seem to have enough smarts to see when something
is broken enough that Tomcat (v 5.0.28) chokes on it with an unhelpful error message. Also, I tried installing the Struts Console
into this version of Netbeans and got:
Warning - could not install some modules:
Struts Console - No module providing the capability org.openide.compiler.CompilationEngine could be found.
Struts Console - No module providing the capability org.openide.TopManager could be found.
Struts Console - The module named org.openide.deprecated was needed and not found.
Struts Console - The module named org.openide.compiler was needed and not found.
Struts Console - The module named org.openide.execution.deprecated was needed and not found.
So:
* Is Eclipse or something else clearly better and more Struts-capable?
* Is AppFuse worth using as a basis for a real app? I tried working through the tutorial and got it going,
but it is based on Hibernate and I was told that Hibernate may not be mature enough for deployment?
* Any other tools or techniques that you fervently recommend or recommend avoiding?
Thanks in advance for any guidance whatsoever.
