I have integrated Tsunami into Cincom's new Web Tool Kit offering
which among other things provides a Servlet and JSP spec compliant
implementation in VisualWorks.
Tsunami provides the following value:
One can develop presentation using standard html editors and IDE's
Guarantees (not simply promotes) separation of presentation from
business logic
Does not require the creation of tags by the developer i.e. tags in
Tsunami correspond to presentation components and therefore the only
time a new tag would be required is to a handle the new "widget"
Allows for rapid prototyping using VisualWorks's GUI Painter
Allows for multiple presentations on the same model
Additional presentation components are provided
Provides for Flash integration
Provides easy hook into DHTML goodies such as drop down menus to
trigger action on presentation manager
Provides for upfront field validation
Provides for local JS access to presentation components
Provides for WML support
and more ...
Tsunami was first presented at Smalltalk Solutions last yerar. It
will be demoed at the Cincom booth all day both Tuesday and Wednesday
at OOPSLA.
