Tool for modeling web applications based on Struts
Hello everybody.
I'm looking for some GUI tool that would be helpful for modeling
Struts-based web application (especially page flow)
It would be great if it supports:
- dedicated icons for action classes, views (JSP pages), form classes
- modeling flow with arrows
- describing request parameters (at arrows)
- general design of views (what kind of controls they have, buttons,
links, what actions are initiated by every control, etc.)
- adding new elements/icons in ease, drag'n'drop way
- possibility to add comments/notes to every elements in the project
diagram.
- printing the diagram or at least exporting to some graphics format
I DON'T CARE about generating code from project! (vide Scioworks
Camino). Ideal tool would be such that helps web application design
focusing on CONCEPTION not on IMPLEMENTATION.
Such a project could be given to programmer for latter - trivial in such
case - implementation.
Have you used such a tool and could recommend me?
TIA.
Best regards.

Hello,
take a look to JDeveloper 10g.
He has a good GUI for Struts-based-webapp.

I work on such a tool but its hard to implement all the stuff. The tool is
called StrutsBox and is based on the Eclipse plattform.
Project Homepage http://www.strutsbox.de
SourceForge Homepage http://sourceforge.net/projects/strutsbox/
The latest resources with a graphical editor for web flow are in CVS. The
graphical editor uses files with the extension visual. The editor supports
visualization of web flow over more than one module.
Other tools are BEA Weblogic Workshop, Oracle JDeveloper or the Exadel
Tools.
