I don't think there is any page that compares them, quick overview: Code-behind: Provides default mappings for pages without actions, default results (finds templates based on action name and result)
Zero-Conf: Provides annotations: @Result, @Namespace and @ParentPackage to create action mappings Convention: Provides default mapping for actions and results. Annotations: @Action (results, interceptorRefs...), @Result, @InterceptorRefs, @Namespace,@ParentPackage, @ResultPath, it also created default package actions based on convention (Index) musachy //maybe some stuff missing on them...
