In the PPT, matt first used a group of photos to show his house, car, his happy family, and his books, to show his success as an independent consultant.

Next, we will show his development history

Struts: used since June 2001-same time 1.0 was released.
Spring MVC: used since jenuary 2004-before 1.0 was released.
Webwork: used since July 2004.
Tapestry: used since July 2004.
JSF: used since July 2004-both sun's RI and MyFaces.

The following describes the comparison of each framework. The summary is as follows. Please read only the shortcomings, not the advantages. Because the advantage is endless.

Struts disadvantages:

Actionforms-they're a pain
Can't unit test-strutstestcase only does integration
Project has been rumored as "dead"

Display Tag:

Disadvantages of spring MVC:

Configuration intensive-lots of XML
Requires writing lots of code in JSPs
Almost too flexible-no common parent Controller

Webwork disadvantages:

Small community
Documentation is poorly organized

Disadvantages of tapestry:

Documentation very conceptual, rather
Pragmatic
Steep learning curve-very few examples
Long release cycles-major upgrades every year

JSF disadvantages:

Tag soup for JSPs
Doesn' t play well with rest or security
No single source for implementation

Sitemesh:

 

IDE support

Struts has a lot of IDE support and even has frameworks built on top of it (I. e. beehive's pageflow)
Spring has spring ide-only does XML validation, not a UI/web tool
Webwork has eclipsework
Tapestry has spindle-Great for coders
JSF has between, And They're getting better and better
