  OpenSymphony

  (Non-Profit; 1-10 employees; Computer Software industry)

  October 2002 — Present (6 years 10 months)

  Starting in late 2002 we began a a rewrite of the opensource web application framework WebWork. Many web frameworks suffer from being tightly coupled to the Servlet spec when it is not necessary, especially Struts. This makes both unit testing your command components (Actions in Xwork / WebWork) and reusing them outside a web application very difficult or impossible. With XWork, the OpenSymphony team went back to the drawing board to create a powerful generic command pattern implementation which makes unit testing and code reuse much simpler. WebWork2 leverages the power of XWork at its core and builds upon it with web application framework specific code. Xwork adds powerful features to command processing including interceptors, the OGNL (<http://www.ognl.org>) expression language, an IoC (Inversion of Control) container, flexible type conversion, and a powerful validation framework. WebWork2 is built as a set of Interceptors, Results, and Dispatchers on top of XWork.
