MyEclipse,Struts And Ajax

[A.S. HariLal]

Dear Team Members,
I am developing Struts application in MyEclipse IDE (using Eclipse and MyEclipse 5.1.1 GA) for the past 7 months.And in my experience MyEclipse is very suitable and help full for developing Applications in Struts like frame work (There are built in features avilable in MyEclipse like auto complte, auto created context, structure and much more). But when I saw the Microsoft visual studio 2008, I think about the Ajax co-ordination. Is there any way to put a ajax enabled grid or layer as avilable in Microsoft VS 2008. How can we in co-operate MyEclipse and Ajax?. Is there any tools avilable for that?. ( For example: I commonly use pager taglib for the dynamic grid manipulation. Is there any way to put it in a ajax?)

A.S.,

You can accomplish something similar by using AJAX-enabled JSF components like the ICEfaces component library that is integrated with MyEclipse. I don't know if you'll find tooling in general with Java IDEs as integrated as Visual Studio because Microsoft has the advantage of being able to focus their entire tool and framework stack against 1 technology, where as the Java environment has 100 solutions for every 1 problem. It's a blessing and a curse.

Ultimately I would suggest using whatever tool makes you the most productive (both financially and time-wise), that's all that matters wether it's Java, ASP.NET, Perl or CGI

Dear Riyad Kalla ,
Yes, of course, I concentrate on the most productive (both financially and time-wise), so I like Java Technologies. But technology develops day to day. So I think about how to incorporate the positive side of those technologies to our environments. Anyway thank you for your valuable advice, keep in touch
