Hmm I guess choosing between Java based web frameworks are really a matter of personal taste.. but I dislike struts, it's a typical "my way or the highway" framework. (I mean *if* you go struts, you've made your choice, and cant really change after during the project..) Also, it's a JSP-based solution, and I really dislike the jsp way :)
I can suggest checking out the wafer project - not that they have anything to show off with - but at least they got a pretty long list of available frameworks. After donating a reasonable amount of time checking out a nice couple of them, I decided I like Maverick the best (http://mav.sf.net). It's plain, easy, cool, asks less while gives a lot to the developer, and easily integrates with Velocity and other templating technologies. But as I've stated already, it's really up to any developer to choose :) Christopher ps. I'm no official mav-advertiser (:P), had no commits to their project, just felt like sharing my openion based on my current experiences :) On Sun, Jan 05, 2003 at 08:53:56PM -0500, Herve Tchepannou wrote: > Sitemesh is definitively a much more elegant approach that Struts Tile. > > But for the MVC framework, I've played with WebWork, the idea and > framework are interesting, but I find the implementation weird: > - The Expression language is unnatural (using '/' instead of '.') > - The taglib strange, use of single quote (I never know when) for some > tag attributes, the HTML generated full of white space > - And the xDoclet/WebWork integration is buggy > > So, I personnaly think that Struts is so far a better alternative that > WebWork > > > FYI - uses SiteMesh - cool! > > > > Thanks Herve!
