I think that before choosing a Java Web framework, you should perhaps analyze the migration. Many php webapps doesn't implement MVC design pattern. I think that you should calculate the necessary time to completly refactor your existing webapp into a new webapp. Sometime, we think that porting a php webapp to a java web framework is too easy because the java web framework is on the edge,provides some good features ;) If you have money to spend to completly "rewrite" your webapp into an another technology, so, test them yourself ;) Many prefer serverside framework like struts, webwork, others prefer web component framework like JSF,wicket,.... I think the most important question is : How much time your team can be able to be ready on one of these frameworks.
Personally, i begun webapp coding with php, now i'm coding only on J2EE platform. Actually Struts. I hope in the future, i'll work with JSF best regards ;) 2006/1/3, Bogdan Paduraru <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi, > > > > I'm managing a PHP/postgreSQL project.
