The Struts workflow is fully supported. This includes forwarding to another action, redirects and module switching. Redirects are automatically handled by the StrutsME-Client
module.
Struts validation
Both the Commons Validator Framework and the validation through the validate()
method of the ActionForm
are supported.
Struts messages
These are translated and than transmitted to the client.
Struts modules
This new feature of Struts is also supported.
1.2 Partly implemented features
Easy setup
The current setup process for StrutsME
users (the application developers) is easy. But for programmers which want to work on StrutsME
the setup is a bit more complicated. Simplifying this is planned.
Maven based build process
The goal is to only use Maven for building StrutsME
. Currently Ant is used for building the J2ME side and running it.
MEF
MEF stands for MobileEditionFramework and is a framework to support the programming of J2ME applications in general. It will include functionaly like
Persistence of objects
Management of the workflow and dispatching of actions
Utility classes
Various screens like a Waitscreen, SplashScreen, DebugScreen, ...
Support for automatic switching between the 'online' and the 'offline' mode of the client. This will allow to edit content in the offline mode and to save it. In the online mode these changes are synchronized with the server.
We are in the process of sorting out which material MEF will include in detail and to clean up the code.
