My Job for the next couple of weeks

I can't help but brag about how cool my current gig is with Open Logic. My task for the next few weeks is to write a simple sample app - and create alternative MVC implementations. Targeted frameworks include Struts, Spring MVC, WebWork, Tapestry and JSF. Not only am I working from home, but they dropped off an AMD XP 2800 to work with. Installing Fedora Core 2 with VMWare is what I'm up to this morning. Working with open source all day - it doesn't get much better than this.

I don't suppose there's anyway for me to convince you to sneak in a little trial of JPublish while your at it? ;-)

That is excellent! Hats off to you.

What does Open Logic do? I have looked at their site like three times and I can not figure out how I would use their product?

To put it simply, the have an installer that installs and configures a bunch of open source projects. You can pick and choose the ones you want to install. For anyone that's tried to get Apache+Tomcat working, you know the pain configuring some of these projects can be.

Let us know if you need any help / info for the WebWork implementation.

Well their installer would install but i wouldn't recommend that for any production system.

I agree - it's best used for setting up a development environment. However, I think they're working on making production system installs easier too.

I personally believe that companies like Open Logic are so important for the open source community. Many corporate environments look down on open source because the integration of various projects is left up to the developer and/or IT department. No project manager wants employees wasting time trying to figure out the ins and outs of getting a bunch of components to play together in the sandbox. Companies like Open Logic help to "brand" open source...to paint a pretty picture if you will.

Additionally, they help test open source projects and provide viable feedback. Many individual/informal users find problems and never report them. Open Logic's business is to report issues and/or contribute patches. It is very much a win-win situation.

Wow! Way to go! Pretty cool stuff. BTW thanks for your a$$ kickin sample apps you have already created.

Hey Matt, any chance you could post a JSF and Tapestry comparison when your done with this project. I would like to see you reactions to the two working on the same project. I am planning similar for route for one of our simple web apps to see which would be the easier solution.

Posted by John Christopher on July 16, 2004 at 08:39 PM MDT #

John - I'll try and post a comparison when I'm done. I'm sure a lot of it will depend on how quickly I can build each version - and their support systems.
