Hi, I''ve started reading some Java books. Gasp! What makes website development with Java so bad? I haven''t looked at Struts but I''m reading about Hibernate. Compared to ActiveRecord, Hibernate seems like some extra typing to explicitly define the model fields, getters and setters. I know that these are things that you can do in ActiveRecord when things get complicated

For a company study I am trying to come up with what would one need to replicate *grosso modo and at the functional level* what we get in Rails. This does not need to be an "equivalent" solution, just what a Java programmer would build upon, the canonical aggregation of components, the usual tools. My first fraft is: Struts -> C layer Hibernate -> M

I''m curious -- how many of us came to Rails from other branches of the OO world -- Java, C# -- and how many of us came from the design or non-OO scripting worlds? Reason I ask is that I''m finding Rails a blast and very productive, but I think one reason is that I already cut my teeth on MVC and ORM during two years of writing apps with J2EE/Struts/Hibernate. And in Javaland, it

All, I am looking to write an ecommerce application and debating using rails or struts. Any advice as to which path to follow.

Hi, normally I am doing all my webprojects with PHP. But now I am planning to use a framework, either Ruby On Rails, or Java in particular J2EE with Java Spring, or Struts Shale. Well, I already tried RoR a few month ago, so I am simply comparing it to the Java alternatives now. My problem is, that maybe using Java for my projects is like using a dredger to grub a small hole :) But on the other

My application has one central database + Rails server and many distributed GUI clients. The remote clients need to read and update different collections of ActiveRecords. They also need to submit fairly demanding calculation + database update requests. Have you designed a similar Ruby application? What did you do? I''ll try to summarize the approachs I''m considering

I found a reference to using attachment_fu and followed the lead of it but having an issue with the redirect_to that renders the fb:render tag - In my form I''m setting the canvas to false, file is being uploaded / save fine but when I attempt to redirect: redirect_to :action => :new, :canvas => true Unfortunatly it looks like my callback URL is getting printed twice, e.g.

Hello all, I work for a company located in Madison, WI and we''re looking at replacing a pre-Struts J2EE ecommerce app with Rails. ''ve been using Rails with pleasure for the last year on several supporting applications, and I have everyone else convinced that it''s at least worth investigating. The developer team has a few experienced Java developers who are

I sure hope so: http://duckdown.blogspot.com/2006/03/additional-thoughts-on-why-ruby-isnt.html Seems like it''s getting genuine rebuttals, though. It''s actually kind of amusing.

I am starting a large project and still selecting what framework to use. Rather than ask brand x what is wrong with brand y, I am more interested in self confession. Why would I *not* want to use Rails (compared to Iowa and Nitro). I posted a synopsis of the project to ruby-talk but will repost it here if anyone wants it. xev

A controller I''m trying to test simply delivers a text string to the client, which then demarshalls it to retrieve some objects. I want to test that the returned string is correct. I don''t want to compare the string character-by-character with response.has_text because that ties me to the implementation of the Marshall class. Instead, I just want to demarshall the string

I am a web developer using PHP and very limited JavaScript. I keep hearing about RoR and am interested in learning it, but before I make the jump I''d like to hear about the types of applications I should be using it for. On all the tutorials you see big apps like stores, social networking, shopping carts, etc. I don''t have any immediate plans to be building something that

Here's a patch to wobbly.c to handle edge snapping with multiple outputs... Also, I tweaked the window edge snapping to include dock window types, to support the case where dock windows may be on the inner edges of multiple monitors (and thus currently ignored as struts in the output workarea setup). I personally think we should include these "inner" struts when calculating the

Hi all. I am wrting a small content management tool for my company and was trying to display some images from our file store shown below. <td> <img src="\\xx.xx.xxx.xx\xx\xx\xxx\abc.gif"/> The app was displaying the image when it is under the \public\images directory. Is there anything special we need to do to get a file from outside the root of the application? Any help

I have been frustrated with J2EE technology just like any other developer who has worked in that technology for a long time. This made me learn about Rails and I was excited about RoR. Today I came across JBoss Seam framework and I am not able to contain my excitement. My passion for JEE development is back. It seems like it is better than RoR. I would like to hear differnt opinions about this

I am curious what you find is good and bad MVC design. Let''s use the find and find_by_sql methods as examples. Currently I have these spread out all over the place... View: here I have some find methods when I am for example populating a select list with choices in a form. Controller: here I have the simpler find methods. Model: here I have the more complicated find methods (usually
