What I think also needs to be said is that Ben "single handedly" re-wrote the Stripes Layouts and from what I gather spent a "huge" amount of his personal time doing so. In addition, the re-write apparently was no easy task and Ben had to move away from the re-write on at least one occasion for quite some time. And in the end, when some issues remained and pressure surfaced from people in the community (myself especially) to resolve issues in the Stripes Layouts Ben once again came threw and resolved the issues completely.

Ben could have easily thrown up his hands, and passed the baton, but didn't, and that in itself demonstrates great dedication and love for the Stripes project.

Thank You Ben for all you have done and continue to do for Stripes. Your dedication and contributions are extremely appreciated!

Sincerely,

--Nikolaos

P.S. Thanks Daniil for reminding us that we can use this forum to complement the actions of those that put great effort into this project. It's not often that positive e-mails surface on a mailing list - in fact its typically quite the opposite - and its quite refreshing to see your e-mail. Thank You.

Thank you so much for the positive feedback. I worked really hard to get that done, and it's nice to know people are benefiting from it. The switch to streaming hasn't been without its hiccups, but I think the benefits far outweigh the problems that have been encountered.

    To Stripes Developers,

    I'd like to take a moment to leave my warmest regards to the
    Stripes' new streaming layout tags. The rewrite is truly something
    that had to be done from the beginning. It makes web app behave
    like no other. I had no complaints about Stripes before, but since
    the release of 1.5.3 its been simple wonder running the framework.
    Our site is relatively small. We get about 200 concurrent users.
    Nonetheless, performance gains are clearly visible. Just some
    bullet points below:

       * Faster perceived response time
       * Memory usage has been stabilized without jumping up and down
       * Reduced CPU usage (unexpected)

    The most important improvement is the perceived response time. I'm
    tracking page load for every single JSP request all the time (my
    own pet peeve) and there have been no changes there, but users get
    first bytes in the response faster. I guess buffering is not
    always desired. Don't know if anyone has felt the changes, but
    I've seen those only after installing new Stripes. And a side
    effect of that is clearly visible to our international clients in
    Asia. The content delivery is more instant.

    My thanks go out to all who contributed to this change. Its great
    to see Stripes improve so much and looking forward to the bright
    future as well.

    Cheers,
    Daniil
