Well, I'm not that sure about portlet support gaining wider usage for Stripes. I would love to get an answer "yeah, here's a Stripes-Liferay integration bridge we've created" when I asked about possibility of using Stripes with portals. But it's only because I've been forced into Liferay and already know and love Stripes. Seeing what an unholy mess Liferay is, I don't really believe that many of its fans would get to love Stripes. It's simply to little convoluted and "enterprise'y" and it gets you results too fast.

And about the frontend -- I've asked about reusing some of the Stripes code recently on this list. We've exchanged some e-mails with Remi and I got interested in his Woko project -- take a look (http://www.pojosontheweb.com/)

I myself have a bit different approach and am still going to write my own "framework", but I got some new ideas and I'm basing it on Stripes now instead of writing it from ground up. I am concentrating my efforts on providing a "base project" which you would fork to bootstrap your new project and that will contain a good CMS out of the box. I also develop mechanisms that make developers write much less code for standard grids, forms and other every day stuff that we tend to write manually and is repeatable. I'm encapsulating things like "text edit", "combobox", "listbox", "treeview", etc. in the way that makes the amount of glue code between JPA model and the frontend minimal while providing "scaffolded" frontend that not only looks and feels "good enough" for 90% of cases but is also very easy to customize without anything more than what we already know - JSP, CSS and jQuery.

I feel that I'm filling an important gap between Stripes and "full stack frameworks". There are websites that are too complex (or get too much traffic) for Wordpress or other PHP CMSes but are still not "enterprise'y" enough to take advantage of heavy frameworks that make all decisions for you. I love many of PHP SilverStripe framework/CMS ideas, but it's not very polished and it's PHP. I'm trying to create something even better for JavaEE and Stripes.

It will probably take me until the end of the year to have something working and documented enough to be published. I'll most likely go with Apache 2 license, so You'll be free to take a look and use it. Right now I am implementing things I have already designed (I've put a lot of thought into it) and until I'm finished with a prototype, I'll probably won't be able to share work with other developers. But if you check out the prototype once it's finished and you like it, you'll be welcome to join the effort :-) If you're good with frontend side, there's probably be a lot of web UI controls polishing to be done :-)

Best regards,
Grzegorz

Hi Tim,
I just think by providing the portlet support would be oppurtunity for stripes to be used by more ppl. But i get your points. I do agree with that. I guess a lot of developers here want stripes-portlet because of the portlet development will be much easier and simple by using stripes. I'm more interested to provide a front-end stuffs to stripes. Every web business now concentrate and spend a lots of money to have a good web user experiences. And stripes tag have small capability for that. I would like to start develop a restful library for stripes and like to integrate front-end framework like ember or backbone with stripes. It's less pain than providing portlet in stripes. Currently we have a low activities in providing new stuffs. And we also not care much regarding the stripes front-end. If you guys have a free time and like to proceed with stripes front-end, just let me know. I can provide with front-end expertises but i need back-end folks to cooperate with me regarding the layer between back to front. Are guys interested ;) ?

    it on Stripes even though I thought I won't).

    Yeah, it's a nightmare and - after such a wonderful experience with
    Stripes - the pain is almost physical :-(
