I hit send too soon....

Just to be clear, Spring and Hibernate are really irrelevant in the context of this discussion, unless you mean Spring MVC. I can't speak for Spring MVC, so I'll let others discuss the merits.


My professional opinion (if it means anything) is to go with Spring/ Hibernate no matter which choice of web framework you decide. The benefits you get with O/R and IoC *far* outweigh any learning curve that you may encounter. I think anyone who's been down that road would agree.

Anyway, that's all, I'll shut up now.

You are likely to hear many differing opinions on this list.

You should evaluate your criteria. Are you wanting something slick? Fast development? Easier maintenance? Scalable? Flexible?

If you are wanting something fast. Take a look at Ruby on Rails, or stay tuned to this channel for updates on Struts Ti.

If you want to leverage your existing team's talent (based on your comment below), stay with Struts.

If you have to hire new help, you will find the largest talent base has Struts experience over anything else we've mentioned.

If you are wanting something standard (as in J2EE standards), I'd say go with JSF. While you are not as likely to find as many developers with JSF experience as you will with Struts experience, JSF is not something to ignore. In fact, the MyFaces (http:// myfaces.apache.org) community is vibrant and growing.

Unltimately, the decision is yours, I'm just along for the ride ;) and I'm excited to part of all of this.

I am kind of new to this forum... Need some advice from the gurus.



In eBay, for our all intranet applications, we use "JSP presentation,
STRUTS 1.0.1 as controller, java based application objects for business
logics and custom built XML based data access layer".



Now we are in the process of upgrading all our apps/apis/servers.



I thought of utilizing this opportunity and try to upgrade our STRUTS
applications, to come back to the industry-wide tech-stack.



But by following the forum, I am getting confused which one to choose
and what are their purposes:



STRUTS 1.2.x?

JSF?

SHALE?

SPRING?

HIBERNATE?



Can someone give a high level some idea and some pointers?



Our main focus is to align with the "viable industry standards", the
same time not to jump into the usage of beta API's which are not tested
out thoroughly.



Appreciate the help.
