Struts中文文档

Oregon sports teams (Oregon State Beavers, Oregon Ducks, Portland Trailblazers)
and work on cool software.</p>

<p>I figured out I was getting pretty old when I realized that 2000 was the 25th
year I had been paid to work in some aspect of software development :-).  I've
got a son who is a full-time software developer (primarily in PHP so far, but
I'm going to corrupt him with Java eventually :-), and a daughter in college.
I'll happily let the other committers speak for themselves.</p>

<h3><a name="mschachter">Mike Schachter -- Committer</a></h3>

<p>I'm currently a student of computer
science at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA.
I've been working at HP Middleware, formerly
Bluestone Software for 3 years programming in 
Java and recently J2EE technologies.  I'm a full
time worker from September until April and a student
and part time worker from April until August.
In my spare time I've been known to run monkey-knife
fights in a shady south philly warehouse.  Err...
I mean... nothing.</p>

<h3><a name="husted">Ted Husted -- Committer</a></h3>

<p>My primary interest in Struts is to put it to work writing lots of
real-life Web applications:-) To do that effectively means having good
documentation and code samples at my fingertips, so that's been my focus
with the Struts product so far.</p>

<p>I've been writing software for hire since 1984, but only recently jumped
on the Java bandwagon. My initial interest was with electronic
publishing, and started by converting my various print projects to
electronic media. The "Information Superhighway" was still the private
stomping ground of Universities and government agencies then. The rest
of us had to make do with diskettes and bulletin boards.</p>

<p>Between 1985 and 1994, I created and marketed several software products
for publishing on disk, the most popular being "Dart" and "Iris". In
1992, Dart was awarded the Digital Quill for software excellence,
featured in PC Magazine (February 1992), and bundled with McGraw Hill's
bookset,"Paperless Publishing" by Colin Hayes (McGraw Hill 1994). Dart
won a second Digital Quill in 1993. Several titles that used Iris for a 
publishing system have also won awards and been widely distributed, 
including "Hermitville USA." I was also fortunate to find kindred souls 
on CompuServe and America Online, who helped me pioneer resources areas 
there in 1993 and 1994 for the nascent electronic publishing industry.</p>

<p>I finally cut loose on the Internet in 1995, launching Epub News, an
electronic newspage about electronic publishing. After taking on several
private contracts, I opened the Husted dot Com Website (www.husted.com)
in 1996. I've drifted away from electronic books, but have noticed that
several products are now making their way into the consumer mainstream
-- as usual, I was twenty minutes into the future:-)</p>

<p>My favorite all-time project is the Hitchhikers Guide to Science
Fiction. This was one of my earliest hypertext projects (it started as a
print-book idea), and I had a lot of fun bringing it forward onto the
Web. (Now, if I only had time to bring it current and dress it up!)</p>

<p>My favorite all-time client is is WXXI Public Broadcasting Council, 
where I've served as the station's Webmaster. WXXI provides public 
broadcasting services for television and radio, and we are working to do 
the same online. Along with providing companion Web sites for every WXXI
production, we stream both our AM and FM signals, in both Real and 
QuickTime, with online archives in the works. It's a long journey, but 
we've taken the first steps. I'm responsible for most of the regular 
updates to the site, and much of the overall layout and design. We're 
grateful to have won the PBS award for best Web site in our market for 
two years running.</p>

<p>Our most ambitious projects at WXXI have been Spring Marketplace 2000
and the NY Election Finder. For Spring Marketplace, we put our annual
auction fully online for simultaneous telephone and Website bidding. On
NY Election, we offered not only the usual election-finder application,
but collected voter registration records from around the state, so
people could also check their registration status and polling place. I
developed the Web-enabled database applications for both projects.</p>

<p>Currently, I'm expanding the WXXI online auction software into a
complete package for hosting online auctions as fund-raisers; this is 
to be an open-source project called Gavel, and, of course, is 
based on Struts. </p>

<h3><a name="cedric">Cedric Dumoulin -- Committer</a></h3>

<p>As a dreamer / researcher I have thought a lot about a framework like Struts.
But, as a lazy developer I have first checked what already exists, and I have
found Struts. Struts goals fulfilled nearly all I needed for my (now old)
portal project, except the capability to reuse and assemble easily pieces of
pages or components. So, I have proposed the Components framework. This
framework can be seen as a superset of the Templates tag library contributed 
by David Geary, and contains lot of interesting features.</p>

<p>From a professional point of view, I have a Ph.D. in computer science. I have
worked for 3 years in the R&amp;D department of a worldwide company developing 
Internet banking solutions. I am now a researcher at a university, and work 
on European research projects. My main research interest is WWW, Distributed 
Systems and Object Oriented Design. When developing code, I always try to 
first propose reusable pieces of code.</p>

<h3><a name="martinc">Martin Cooper -- Committer</a></h3>

<p>Currently, I'm a Principal Software Engineer at Tumbleweed Communications, 
working on the Messaging Management System. Early last year (2000), I was 
working on the architecture for a new web-based administration system for 
the product, and headed in the direction of servlets and JSP. I joined the 
JSP-INTEREST and SERVLET-INTEREST mailing lists to see what was going on in 
those respective areas.</p>

<p>Before too long, some interesting discussions started up around the topic 
of Model 2 architectures. Model 2 sounded like the right way to go about 
things, and I followed those discussions closely. I was, however, still 
looking for a "leg up" - something to give me that core on which to build.</p>

<p>Then, in May, I saw a post to JSP-INTEREST from Craig McClanahan entitled 
something like "New Jakarta-Struts Subproject", and describing Struts, and 
his vision for it. I hopped right over to the Jakarta web site and signed 
up for the mailing list. Before long, I realised this was exactly what I 
had been looking for.</p>

<p>Now, a year or so later, we have a team of people, on which I am the 
technical lead, just finishing up our web-based administration system as 
Struts reaches its 1.0 release. And I am still firmly convinced that I made 
the right decision in going with Struts in the first place.</p>

<p>Like anyone else, my first postings to the struts-user list were questions 
to help me understand how to do things, and why Struts is the way it is. 
Over time, reading the lists and also the source code, and working on my 
own fairly large web application, I came to the point where I could answer 
questions too. Now, I'm glad to be able to give something back to the 
Struts community by helping others understand, and also by contributing 
ideas and code to help make Struts even better than it already is.</p>
