This is cool stuff
Keep at it, don’t give up.
If possible, create a mailing list and if you do, do add me in
(will be monitoring your blog).

I plan to start updating it very soon, and publish its code in github. Stay tuned!

Hello mariano!

Do you have any news or progress in C++ Web Framework (CLAPP) ?
Could you provide a link for downloading?

Thanks.

Oh yeah, almost forgot…
What do you think about Felspar’s Frost 4 framework?

Made any progress on this project? I think it’s a great idea! Why not post it on SourceForge and let the community help you build it?
Also, have you taken a look at the approach being taken over at puremvc.org?
Lastly, I’d like to know more specifically about why you believe that having to build anything when you change a view is a significant drawback. Is it only really a disadvantage when the site scales up? Even if the build is automated?

@artyom: Ok, we are really NOT understanding each other. I don’t care if it’s done on other frameworks or not. I DONT like the fact that you have to build EVEN A SMALL part of it.

It’s just me. There are TONS of frameworks that DONT require you to re build ANYTHING when you change a view. Period. That’s what I’m working for.

I mean

> I have to recompile the project

Is not correct, you need only to build
a **very small** part of it.

> Just that I don't think it makes much sense to build a view, be it as a DLL that is dinamically loaded

Actually such things are already done in Asp.Net and
in Java Servlets.

It is defenatly not "one major design flaw", this is something common to many frameworks.

@artyom: I don’t get it. You say not exactly but you are explaining how you have to rebuild the views. I wasn’t talking about how fast it is to build a view. You still have to build it.

I’m not saying: “I’m right, you are wrong”. Just that I don’t think it makes much sense to build a view, be it as a DLL that is dinamically loaded, or anything else.

Not correct, see http://cppcms.sourceforge.net/wikipp/en/page/ref_templates_bld

The views are generally compiled to shared objects or dll and dynamically loaded. Thus if you change view you only need to do a very short build of shared object.

For example, full rebuild of wiki++ view takes 3.5 seconds and 6 seconds for fully optimized release version.

So, it is not as bad as you think, in fact, build times are similar to thous of JSP or Asp.Net views.
