Dave, >>Ooo, hrm. All he really said was that the HTML tags are legacy; obviously Struts development marches on.
To Jack's point, doing a *new* application in both Struts and JSF seems like a ludicrous design. So if you are going to develop a new application and favor JSF UI tags in it, doesn't that imply a goal to developing in pure JSF? This goes back to the implicit message which I think exists here: Struts is old (legacy?), JSF is new. Favor the new, favor JSF. -----Original Message----- From: Dave Newton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 01, 2005 3:10 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Is It Possible to Code Using Struts and JSF at the Same Time?

All he really said was that the HTML tags are legacy; obviously Struts development marches on. Having fought with the Struts tags and the difficulty in adding functionality to them without just taking the source and making them my own, I'd be delighted to use something different that interacted better with, say, custom request processors, etc. >But why?

I still think lisp-backed flash-fronted sites are the wave of the future, but nobody ever listens to me :D Dave --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Notice: This e-mail message, together with any attachments, contains information of Merck & Co., Inc.
