(Red Faced) I never heard of JATO. When I do a google search... I get a XML to
Java mapper.
From what I can see, and it aint much right now... JATO is nothing like Struts.
Can you send a link to this JATO?
... continues to look ...
Never mind... Found it. Did a search at java.sun.com....
http://developers.sun.com/tools/javatools/articles/afintro.html ... reading article above .... I noticed the tutorial the above article is dated Jan. 9th this year.
Found JATO Tutorial...
http://developers.sun.com/tools/javatools/documentation/s1s51/af_tut.pdf The tutorial is dated Oct. 2003.
Looks like JATO is a cross between
JSF and Struts. Weird. I wonder where this fits in...
Looks like it has some framework code for talking to the database.
Nice
IDE integration too. Very cool!
Okay after looking through the tutorial for 15 minutes...so take it for what it is worth. My suggestions is as follows:
Don't use JATO.
Either use Struts + Hibernate or
WebWork + Hibernate
Then later when Struts and WebWork start supporting JSF (Struts already does), start to incorporate JSF.
