From: "Matt Ho" To: "'Struts Users Mailing List'" Subject: RE: Velocity-Tools / Struts Date: Tue, 19 Feb 2002 18:57:02 -0800 We've been using Struts/Velocity for some time now and we find it to be an extremely well matched combination. One of the main advantages of Velocity is that the syntax is incredibly easy. I can explain it to a designer who has never seen it before and expect them to be useful within an hour. One of the nicest things it enforces is the separation of presentation layer and business logic. It removes the desire to "fix" problems but just putting a small change into the JSP via scriptlets. It also makes the code a _lot_ more readable which also reduces the development time. > i have been looking at velocity periodically for a few months now, and > although i understand what it is trying to do (define a clearer separation > between controller and view) i felt that its big disadvantage was that it > introduced another language/syntax for a developer/designer to learn.
