Just to follow up on some of the comments: The team we are working with are Jave expert, web programmer and a web designer. None of us are familiar with Scala or ever done functional programming. Scala/Lift would introduce too many new moving parts in this project at this time, not that it's out of the question, just not at this time. The newly- introduced templates do fit in the general mold I am trying to provide.
Flex has the same issue, as it is a completely new toolkit with a completely new language and tooling. GWT now has UiBinder, which also fits the requirement for designer- friendly template. None of us know Ruby, so rails is out of the running. There is also some confusion about what I mean regarding 'generated pages' in rails. By this I simply mean that the pages are automatically produced by the rails engine, and only programmers, and not web designers or their tools can approach this. Yes, the requirements are skewed towards template-based framework, but believe it or not I really did not know this space at all until about a month ago, so it really was a fair bake-off. Of course it's also skewed to my taste and how 'fun' it was to run/test each of these frameworks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
