I am revisiting a project and need to limit it to Java 1.4 (unfortunately). I was interested in introducing a MVC framework to improve ease of maintenance in the future. Besides Struts 1, what options do I have? The lightweight the framework, the better. Not to dismiss Struts off hand, I've just heard a lot of bad things about it. If a...
If my objects are for the most part simply holding data that will be sent to the View, does it make sense to implement a separate Service class to initialize object, retirve data and make assignments? Instead, shouldnt the object 'know' what it has to do when it is instantiated, and thus make appropriate calls to repository as needed? ...

What naming convention is recommended when writing an MVC app that has both front-end and JSON paths to the required data? For example, let's say the user of your site has "Things". They should be able to go to a page to view their things, but we also need a way to pull those things back as JSON on other pages. I've been able to think...
There has been a fair bit of talk/debate lately in the Zend Framework community about thin controllers. Apparently there is a tendency of ZF users to view the Model as nothing more than the gateway to the database. The argument is that Models should be "fat" and do more of the work and Controllers shouldn't be chaining methods and doin...
I'm not finding this to be easy to setup; either there is a missing step in the setup configuration, it isn't work correctly, or I don't actually understand it's purpose. There is something definitely wrong here. The problem must obviously be me. I'm just not getting this to work. Here's what I've done. Create a brand new mvc applicat...

I'm struggling with the documentation to figure out exactly what I need to. The documentation (to my understanding) is for 1.5 anyway. N.B: I don't want to extend NinjectHttpApplication I've configured it to use the NinejctControllerFactory in Application_Start() but I get a null reference exception on the KernelContainer.Kernel when i...

I've tried to create a login widget that can be included at will in any action that is outside the content of the application that requires login.

Isn't this Security class a singleton? Is there a specific name for this kind of "internal" singleton class?...
