Since Apache Struts has deprecated Dojo plugin from Struts 2.1.x I am thinking to change everything to jQuery. I especially noticed the difference in sizes (170kb vs 19kb – something like that). I had troubles with IE browser with handling dojo scripts, is this happening also with jQuery (when user is working with the application for a long time, script stops running)?
I have a lot of dojo tags in my applications, and I use most of theirs attributes.
Has anyone had any experience doing that? What were the problems? What were the benefits? Downsides?
Does anyone has any better ideas of which plugin to include with Struts2?
Any answer will be great! Thanks.
It has worked fine for me to change the tags from dojo to jquery. In my (small)project only a few attibutes had to be changed.
The biggest problem for me has been that the tree tag doesn´t exist in jquery so I kept the old dojo tags for that part which has generated alot of conflicts between dojo and jquery. So I recommend that you should change ALL tags at once to jquery to avoid strange behavior.
