Struts, Spring, WebWork, Tapestry, JSF. Are you not lost yet? Do you know what they are and which one is used for what? I wasn’t so sure. Until now, that is. This easily digestible pdf document is very good. Matt Raible, author of Spring Live and a contributor to Pro JSP, does a good job explaining all of the frameworks. Plus, if you want to find out which framework has a good showing on a job board, he does a good job explaining that as well. Dive in.
I’m beginning to be a big fan of Spring: it’s lightweight, easy to use, easy to test. I see a lot of potential in Spring. Spring is what I’d like to master in the near future. I also like Struts, JSF and JSTL, but not as much as Spring. Why not learn them all?
