Re: Converting STRUTS-based application to Java or EGL

Struts IS a JSP/Java based web framework so, you are already there in some respects. You might get better responses on the WEB400 or JAVA400 forums here at Midrange but it sounds like you don't need conversion as much as expertise.

My only "complaint" about Struts was that there is a ton of "hidden" configuration in the framework particularly in Struts 1.xx. It was always difficult for me to figure what action triggered what action triggered what action etc. I don't write applications that use Struts myself but I have had to maintain quite a bit of Struts based code over the past couple of years.

Not sure what you would want to convert to. Struts 2.xx is pretty current stuff although other frameworks are easier to develop in and maintain (IMHO).

Does anyone know if there is tooling in WDSC V6/V7 to will enable a
STRUTS application to be "converted" to Java/JSP or EGL? We have an App
that was written in STRUTS but the developer moved on and we now need to
maintain it. Nobody else very familiar with it. Looking for best way to
modernize and update. Any thoughts? Unfortunately, I am not literate
enough in STRUTS to know how difficult this would be.
