Hello list, the last days I've read a lot about web frameworks in java. And the more I read, the more questions I have. Just writing this down, maybe someone has some thoughts that can help me.
My problem is simple, or lets say it should be simple: What webframework is a good choice to start a new web application? After all, JSF seams to be popular, it is supported by big vendors and it is a standard. My problem with JSF is that its way too basic in my eyes. It does not give me best practices, its just there and says: "use me". But it does not give me an idea how it is used best. But maybe I missed that. My feeling is that its a core technology like jsp ... someone should build a framework with it ... I am missing this "framework" around JSF that does speed up development. Is shale meant to be this framework? It matured a lot since I last looked at it. But for me, it looks like its not really accepted - maybe I am wrong. Is shale what I am searching for? There is JBoss Seam. I don't want to use jboss AS and not sure if its the best choice.. I looked at struts2 and it "feels" like it could be what I searched for. There is good documentation, many examples, an maven archetype, lots of users and the possibility to use third party technologies like freemarker. But my problem is that I am not sure if its not better to use JSF to be compatible with future technologies. There are a lot of ajax-components for example, and we can wait that a lot of third party libraries and tools will be available... Is there a simple answer?
