Stripes users -
I've been meaning to write up a more elaborate posting about our use
of stripes but I wanted to give you another datapoint.... and more
kudos to stripes.
My company, Evernote, has been using stripes for over a year -- I
started using it after a number of successful smaller projects at a
previous company. We're now serving over 450k registered users and
over 25k requests per minute in a clustered set of servers.
We use stripes for our web, iphone web, and web mobile user interface
- stripes gave us a lot of model/controller code reuse. The framework
is used in conjunction with Hibernate and also GWT for some of the
more interactive interfaces.
Performance has never been an issue.
Stripes makes it easier to make more secure applications.
Stripes has helped me bring new junior non-java engineers up to speed
very quickly - they are less likely to make errors that new Java
servlet engineers make.
Stripes layout frameworks are remarkably simple and useful -- the best
I've used. UI code reuse is effortless.
We continue to be impressed about how easy it is to extend stripes and
also how well it plays with other tools (be it AJAX frameworks or tag
libraries).
(Probably not as issue for you) but localization using stripes was
very easy, even with some complex requirements.
The default UI widgets (especially error handling) are minimal but
great and very configurable. They make creating well behaved forms the
default.
My recommendation, if you're going to use Stripes, is to get one
senior person to learn it from from top-to-bottom establishing the
usage guidelines for the rest of the team. Stripes is incredibly hard
to use if you use it wrong -- a few good examples are usually all you
need but if folks head off in the wrong direction they can get
frustrated quickly. Things like allowing multiple forms on a page are
very easy to do and but also really frustrating if you don't know how
to make it work.
This mailing list is great and the community is very responsive but I
think it's essential to have a local champion.

Motten, Jeppe, Chris,
thanks so much for your excellent point, they are very helpful to my
evaluation process. I am trying to bring Stripes as a player into
this project.
Cheers,

Subject: Re: [Stripes-users] is Stripes suitable?
Here's a casual performance comparison from a couple of years back
that found Stripes to be significantly faster than WebWork/Struts 2
primarily because of Struts 2's reliance on OGNL for binding. As far
as I know, Spring MVC uses OGNL also.
I'm using Stripes in two production applications, one of which is
running on a modest Linux server. The number of users has grown from
tens to thousands, and the only scalability issues have been
resolved in the persistence tier - Stripes contributes very little
overhead to this app.
There's a list of some public sites built using Stripes here. One of
the more notable ones is http://imagesource.cnn.com
I would suggest that you try porting a slice of one of your existing
Spring MVC applications and doing your own comparison. You could use
Apache JMeter to load-test a few use cases and measure response
times as the number of users increase.
By the way, a lot of people (including me) are using Stripes along
with other Spring services (transactions, persistence, URL security)
and Stripes coexists happily with those.

Hi, Strips community,
Currently we are evaluating web framework for a very big enterprise
project. Stripes seems to be the pick at this moment.
Though we still need more materials to support the decision (for
politically correctness). Maybe your knowledge can easily help us
out with some information:
1. Could you please list any relatively large scale enterprise
applications used by Stripes?
2. what is the biggest advantage (or weakness) Stripes over Spring
MVC (2.5 or plus) in particular? (since Spring MVC has already been
used in our organization).
We especially concern about "request/response performance" and
"scalability".
With those information, we may able to make our final decisions. Any
help from you is greatly appreciated.
regards,
H. Lu
