Ruby on Rails and J2EE: Is there room for both? is the title of a new article that tries to give a sober view of a Struts-based J2EE web stack, compared to Rails.

What is interesting about this article? It isn't the content, it is the fact that this article is written.

Where was the "Seaside vs. Spring MVC" article? :)

I think there have really only been the following comparison articles done:

• Various Java Frameworks (Struts vs. JSF vs. Tapestry vs. WebWork vs. ...)
• J2EE vs. .NET
• and now Rails vs. J2EE

Having it on developerWorks shows that they think Java guys care too. I think the Java camp is polarised with extremes of "Rail looks great" and "Man can I NOT hear about Rails for a day and talk about Java?".
