 Matt Raible to deliver keynote address
Comparing Java Web Frameworks.
JA-SIG is very pleased to announce that Matt Raible, a consultant specializing in Open Source
java frameworks and ajax development, will be the Tuesday keynote speaker at JA-SIG's upcoming
Denver conference, "JA-SIG: With Altitude"', Sunday through Wednesday, 24-27 June 2007, at the Renaissance Denver Hotel.
Abstract:
One of the most difficult things to do (in Java web development)
today is pick which web framework to use when developing an
application. The Apache Software foundation hosts many of the
popular Java web frameworks: Struts, MyFaces, Tapestry and
Wicket. This session will compare these different web
frameworks, as well as Spring MVC and Stripes. It will briefly
explain how each works and the strengths and weaknesses of each.
Tips, tricks and gotcha's will be plentiful. Lastly, it will
provide attendees with a sample application that utilizes all 6
frameworks, so they can compare line-by-line how the frameworks
are different. This sample application will include the
following features: sortable/pageable list, client and
server-side validation, success and error messages as well as
some Ajax functionality. The frameworks will be rated on how
easy they make it to implement these features.
