Hi folks,

If it can help, the minutes of the 2K6 JavaPolis Struts2 session :
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.stripes.user/6303

Of course, I never tried to build 2 "real" webapps with
Struts2/Stripes and compare, but really, I don't think it's of any
use. The presentation I saw 2 years ago was sufficient : Stripes is
simply better on ALL levels. I don't remember of anything more
efficient in Struts2. It basically borrows the Stripes concepts, but
the implementation isn't as good. Not even nearly.

IMHO, the "nail" for Stripes is just the web tier, at least when you
wanna use MVC instead of component-based techniques. Other main MVC
frameworks are either less efficient (Struts2), or too complex and
better suited for building frameworks on top of it (Spring MVC w/
Grails for example).

Stripes just does what it's supposed to do, in the simplest and
cleanest possible way. That's why if you need to build a web front-end
in Java, it's certainly the best tool out there. You'll benefit of the
amazing productivity this framework provides (Struts2 can't compare),
and in the long term you'll enjoy the simplicity and ease of
maintenance for your code.

Cheers

Remi
