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.
