I'd use JSF/Shale/JBoss/Hibernate/MySQL. I've never used Spring or Shale (Although I think it'd be worthwhile after reading about Shale) so I'll let others voice on that one. I've only used the MyFaces implementation and didn't have any problems on JBoss.
I've been using struts for 3 years now and I'm using it in a new project I'm starting soon. We were limited by our J2EE web server (JRun) or else I would have gone with the above recommendation. But I have seen no reason why you couldn't still use struts. I think it depends on what the requirements are for your web application. Some architectures are better suited for different requirements.

Hello everybody, Could you give me some advices? Assume that I know how to use Struts, Hibernate, iBATIS and know nothing about Spring, JSF (but willing to learn :) ). Now what should I use if I have to write a new web application? And correct me if I'm wrong anywhere please. I heard that Spring helps us write less code (by declaring beans with their own names in xml files, whenever we need a bean, just call that name) and helps us in transactions (I don't know exactly if we use Spring for transaction management what we can get. Could someone write a few words here?) I heard that JSF is best used for the view tier in the MVC model (I've just read an article by Craig McClanahan named `The Best of Both Worlds: Integrating JSF with Struts in Your J2EE Applications on Oracle website, but it seems to me that that article applies to existing Struts applications, not new ones). And if I should use JSF, which JSF implementation should I use? Sun Reference Implementation or MyFaces or Oracle ADF? I also heard that ADF provides the most components among those 3 and it's just gone open-source (i.e. we can use it for free). Or Shale (as far as I know, it is a mixture of Struts and JSF. Am I right?)? Awaiting for your advices. Sincerely. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] **************************************************************************** This email may contain confidential material.
