Yes, thanks. We evaluated the following frameworks: Struts-2 (reviewed by me) SpringMVC (reviewed by a coworker) JFS (reviewed by a coworker) Click (reviewed by a coworker) Wicket (reviewed by a cowerker and then by me in a second chance kind of deal)
Other-ones (Tapestry, Webworks, etc) where discarded in a very overview like process. JFS was the first to go. Very complex if no netbeans and taglibs hell, etc. SpringMVC had a huge acceptance in the community although after reviewing it and experience al xml complexity it got to the point we question the community itself. Similiar with Struts2 although we saw an important reduction of configuration. But it was something else (webworx 2) trying to do Struts I guess. Taglibs were there and we all agreed on their uglyness and stupid concept. Lets do HTML + TAGLIBS + JAVA CODE but lets not put JSP enbeded code on the JSP file. Nonesence!!! One aspect was the some of us came to love seaside (web-framework for squeak/smalltalk) and so we came across Click and the second chance for Wicket. Wicket was originally rejected because one of my coworkers who was in charge of building the demo sample, downloaded the Kick-Start kit (I don't remember the name, maybe quick-start or something of the sort). He had some trouble building it, he then tried to copy/paste some code from the web, and in my opinion gave zero interest in anything. He just complaint about it and then it was dropped. As I was working with Struts-2 and bothering in everyday basis our project leader so he would consider seaside I read nice reviews about wicket, pluss ask my brother who I usually trust and told me only good things about it. So because of the lack of "evidence" or better put, because of the not so deep explanation of why was wicket dumped, I kind of thought that a very common thing had occured. I don't give a crap, let me keep googling arround. Thats when I decided to speak with our PM and ask him if I could give it a try, a left Struts-2 (thanks god) and started with wicket. Because I am a lazy bastard I turn to the list to answer me some preatty dumb questions so I could get a WicketDemo working. It was an awsome ride, thanks again. I attached a Comparison chart of Struts-2 Click and Wicket, that we created. It is nothing fancy nor it is so serious. But I'll attached anyway. f(t) PS: I am currently verry busy, but I expect to get some time near agust so I can start contributing. I am currently on three other projects but it looks one of those is going to finish. On 6/20/07, craigdd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
