You're right. The next big framework will be Rocket, written by old school coders like myself, which is based on the ReversionOfControl pattern. It gets rid of all configuration XML files, and puts all power back into the hands of the Java coder. An important subproject is concerned with anti-wizardry.
JUST JOKING! Sorry, couldn't resist. There will always be technical progress, and some sort of hype. It is always hard to say what the expected life-time of a tool or technology ist. I think that some have come to stay, like Java or OO. On the other hand, within web development, there still seems to be room for improvement. But even if your framework of choice gets outdated, you have learned a lot from the framework developers on how to structure the domain's problems.

I can understand using hibernate will remove jdbc coding. But currently, I'm using Myfaces, it already has all the linking between webpages in xx-config.xml, web.xml, so is there any need for Spring? Or maybe i should go n read up more on Spring :) but just want to get some quick answers here, thanks Another point is: previouslu, I have used Expresso, another Java framework which is past its peak popoularity, in my application called Project X. So now another framework Spring comes on. If I never use any framework at all (except using myfaces), I just use simple Java, then i don't have to keep changing to new popular framework? --Remember last time, Struts is so popular, now is Spring. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Spring%2C-myfaces%2C-hibernate-t1367883.html#a3685807 Sent from the MyFaces - Users forum at Nabble.com.
