Hi,

what did you think about the useage of Struts Framework within Portlets?
I think a struts-portlet application is not realy smarter than a portlet application based direct on portlet-api.

what is your experience in using Struts-Portlet Framework?

Thanks
Ralph

It definitely is useful to use struts for portlets requiring flows of web pages. I have a rule of thumb: If a portlet has more than 3 JSP pages, then use struts.

The advantages are the same as using struts inplace of jsut servlets/JSP's and your own navigation mechanism in regular web apps

thanks for your answer.
but: when I use struts-portlet Framework is it than also possible to use portlet messaging for cooperative portlets?
In my understanding this will be not possible. e.g. sending a action event to another portlet within the same portal page?
has anybody exerience in Messaging an Sturts-Portlet-Framework?

Thanks
Ralph

In Portal 5.0, it is possible to use inter-portlet messaging, even with a StrutsPortlet
