07:28 aditsu kirua: I never used struts, but I only heard horrible things about it (especially struts 1), avoid it if you can
07:30 kirua yeah but it's still used in the project i'm working on, and it looks fine, it's still easier than using plain old servlets...
07:31 aditsu I didn't say use plain old servlets :)
07:44 pulsar i had the pleasure to use struts 1.x a decade ago.
07:44 pulsar the memories come back...
07:44 pulsar need a drink, fast!
07:45 * aditsu offers pulsar a pan galactic garble blaster
07:45 pulsar phew, that was close. thanks.
07:46 pulsar what were we talking about again? unicorns and rainbows?
07:46 pulsar right
07:48 pulsar on the other hand... having struts knowledge might help you to get a gig in the next couple of weeks. i guess many enterprises will happen to have some budget appearing from nowhere to do some.. ummm.. "maintenance" :)
09:06 kirua pulsar, what's really difficult or painful about it ? it doesnt differ much from other similar frameworks to be honest such as Spring MVC or Struts 2,  in this case you have an Actionform,  Actions and a jsp with jstl tags
09:17 pulsar talking about struts 1
09:18 pulsar with a diarrhea of xml files not really managable for a large application without any fancy editors. back then these were very rare.
09:19 pulsar lots of copy this identifier from xml file 1, paste it into xml file 2, make sure class names in these files do not have any typos and make sure your string "constants" in your code match whatever flow has been configured in xml.
09:19 pulsar no thanks.
09:19 pulsar error prone
09:19 pulsar copy & paste pattern based.
09:20 pulsar no idea if it got better with struts 2
09:21 pulsar it was enough to make a huge detour whenever i heard "we have that struts project"
