JavaOne web framework smack-down



Are there really going to be any smack-downs? I'm betting it's gonna be pretty mild. I'll blog the comments that provoke the smack-down bell. Webwork - Jason Carerra

  • "We're not desgined by a committee"
  • "You have to join the JCP and press the spec meat"
  • "You have to have a tool to deal with the 18 JSF configuration files"
  • "JSF, which hasn't been out for a year, is telling us about maintainability?"
  • "Yeah, use the JSF extensibility to create a spyware component"
  • "(Geary's mailbox is so full because) people are confused by MyFaces"
Struts Shale - David Geary
  • "JSF is a lot better Struts and a better Webwork"
  • "Struts is old school, get over it" (he asked for the bell, but didn't get it)
Wicket - Martin Dashorst
  • "No framework makes it as easy to create components as Wicket"
  • "With Wicket you only need to know the extends keyword"
Tapestry - Howard Lewis-Ship
  • "It's not Struts++"
JSF - Ed Burns
  • (too nice to provoke the bell even once)
  • "You don't care about maintainability, use Struts" (shoulda gotten the bell, but didn't)
Audience
  • To David Geary: "Why did you steal Springs web flow?"
OK, I missed a couple, but you get the idea. Those guys were waaaay too nice.
