JavaBlackBelt News: Juni 2006

WebWork conversion

JavaBlackBelt development team deployed the WebWork version of the platform Monday night.

It was previously based on Struts 1.3. WebWork is the successor of Struts. The Struts framework splits to SAF (Struts Action Framework) and Shale (JSF). We feel JSF innappropriate for JavaBlackBelt. We are very happy with WebWork (that is the fundation code for SAF). It is powerful, easy, consistant, and is a very natural evolution (from Struts 1.x), lowering the learning curve and developement length in our case, compared to other solutions.

You will probably notice small differences with some pages. Please report bugs and problems in the forum. The fixes will be redeployed this week.

I'd like to thank Aymeric, Nadege and Lionel for this 5 week refactoring effort, converting the 100+ pages and actions.

The development team will now focus on YAMP: switch some exams to YAMP for questions selection, and give new screens to moderators to have a better view/control on what happen to the exam they lead. After YAMP, they will focus on the coproporate platform.
