Feed Description: Opinions and tips on how to build web applications using Java. Currently using Hibernate, Struts, XHTML, CSS, Ant, JUnit and XDoclet.
In preparation for my talk on comparing web frameworks, I've made a bunch of enhancements to Equinox. I changed the default web framework to be Spring and added a very simple "CRUD users" feature. While it's basic, it shows how to do validation, success messages, and a sortable list with the following frameworks: Spring, JSF, Struts, WebWork and Tapestry. I even added a "birthday" field to demonstrate date-handling. The request-based frameworks don't have a popup calendar, but the component-frameworks (JSF and Tapestry) do.
