Feed Description: My thoughts on Java, software development and technology.
Stripes is a relatively new web application framework that's been built with a couple of things in mind - simplicity and the adoption of new technology. In Stripes, you won't find any complex XML configuration files and, refreshingly, the distribution only requires/includes a small number of dependent JAR files. Stripes is a genuinely lightweight framework and uses Java 5 annotations as it's configuration mechanism.
Like other webapp frameworks, Stripes sticks to the typical model 2 architecture, implemented using the command and controller strategy where the main front controller component delegates request processing responsibility to an action class. However, unlike most other frameworks, you aren't restricted to implementing a specific execute() method and each action class can provide implementations for more than a single request. Let's see how this looks with an example. I'm using Stripes 1.2.2.
