Thanks... I recently picked up Rod Johnson's J2EE Design and Development (ISBN: 0-7645-4385-7), and Chapter 12 is titled "Web-Tier MVC Design"... I'm going to assume this chapter is pretty similar to the one you mention.
I agree with you that this author is incredibly clear-minded, and I'm soaking it all in. Most of the book is model-neutral, and focuses more on good practices and patterns, which is great because we have not decided on a model yet. But in chapter 12 he only really discusses Struts, Maverick, and WebWork. I was hoping for some commentary on JSF and Tapestry as well, especially regarding why one might choose one over the other. It all boils down to two questions: 1. Why do you prefer Struts over any other web application framework? (Tapestry, JSF, Maverick, WebWork, etc) 2. Why should _I_ prefer <insert framework here>? The second question is not meant to make anyone defensive; I'm just trying to get past Thanks, -Justin -----Original Message----- From: Dakota Jack [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 07, 2005 3:30 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: MVC Frameworks Rod Johnson (author of Spring and one of the clearest thinkers I have ever read IMHO) has a good discussion of the options in J2EE Development without EJB in Chapter 13: Web Tier Design.
