I created a framework called Presto that is similar in concept to RoR, but it is all Java. It makes heavy use of Spring AOP/Introductions, Hibernate and Facelets composition components.
It is similar in concept to Trails but for JSF. IMHO, it is far more practical, more flexible and less obtrusive than Trails. Then again, what would you expect me to say.... It uses Hibernate, Spring, Maven 2, Tomahawk, AspectJ, Acegi, JSF and Facelets. (Trails uses Hibernate, Ant and Spring). It also does a lot of heavy Spring/JSF integration as well. If anyone is interested, I'd like to offer it up as a code camp discussion. This will be good practice as we are creating a video at some point. Personally, I have a strong distaste for Ruby and Python. I think scripting languages are a step backwards because of their lack of IDE support. Scripting has its place for sure, but.... I was a very large Python fan at one point. I still love the language but... I am still hoping that Groovy will hit the sweet spot of tool support and great Java integration. I have my doubts. Also someone has to add Rife to the list. Rife continuations are the bomb. (This is something I plan on adding to Presto/JSF). BTW Since this is a JUG and there is so much Java stuff going on why the focus on inferior platforms. Why not.... Rife (continuations and metaprogramming) Spring 2.0 (new features) Avatar (Ajax JSF support at the component level) Facelets (Composition components) etc. -----Original Message----- From: Tim Colson (tcolson) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 13, 2006 10:51 AM To: jug-discussion@tucson-jug.org Subject: RE: [jug-discussion] our own code camps? > I think that would be great.

It is more import to have current information than a site that doesn't look "confluency", in my opinion. ;-) -T --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
