As I've spent a long time trying to ensure that the set of web technologies I work with next are the right ones, I have a couple of questions about RIFE which I'd like to hear people's responses to. The questions are not meant in any way as a troll, or as an attempt to disparage - I am just expressing genuine questions I have in my head.

1. If RIFE is really all it appears to be (e.g., a complete answer to the questions Ruby on Rails has posed to the Java community), how come it is not more widely used? It is still a very minor player (whether or not this is justified). I was wondering why this might be. Could it be to do with its Belgian (i.e., non-US) origins?

2. How long do you think it would take a reasonably experienced Java developer, who has worked mainly with the Struts/Spring/Hibernate approach to web apps, to get comfortable and productive with RIFE's very different way of thinking/working?

3. Are there any tips anyone could give me about how to start 'thinking in RIFE'? I.e., how to approach the design of a web application with RIFE in mind. Perhaps something along the lines of planning it as a flow diagram, thinking of possible exits from each page view?

Looking forward to your responses!

John
