Possible Duplicate:
Choosing a Java Web Framework now?

Hi All,
I’m thinking about which framework to choose for web applications. There are so many web frameworks and I’m afraid of trying all of them – it could be time consuming and I wouldn’t have to found much with simple examples.

I have experience with jsp, jsf1.2, struts1. I can say I don’t like pure jsp with tags. Struts1 again is quite similar to jsp in my view but a bit better. I do like jsf, I find it quite simple to use :), but I’m worried about performance. We used icefaces and lack of get support was really bad.

I know there exist other frameworks, like spring mvc – could be good? . grails, ruby on rails, wicket, gwt, struts2,jsf2

What I need, I’d like to have a versatile framework which doesn’t restrict me and at the same time it’s no problem to create features e.g: ajax.A bit easier to develop in but still fast I would be scared to sacrifice performance for ease of development.

I do not have any production experience with other frameworks I named.Do you have? Could you share it please? What would you use?
Thank you very much.
Any experience appreciated.

    Here’s my take:

    I have experience with jsp, jsf1.2, struts1.

    You have my condolences.

    I can say I don’t like pure jsp with
    tags. Struts1 again is quite similar
    to jsp in my view but a bit better. I
    do like jsf, I find it quite simple to
    use :), but I’m worried about
    performance. We used icefaces and lack
    of get support was really bad.

    I don’t care for JSF or Struts.x at all.

    I know there exist other frameworks,
    like spring mvc – could be good?

    Yes, Spring is very good. It’s much, much more than a web MVC framework as well. It’s performant, it’s got traction, it’s got the financial backing of VMWare. I think it’s the clear winner in the Java EE space.

    . grails.

    Grails is built on Spring and Hibernate.

    , ruby on rails,

    Not Java.

    wicket,

    Could be good. I have no experience with it.

    gwt

    Write Swing, turn it into JavaScript. I have no experience with it.

    I think Spring is a clear winner. It’s been on top for five years and hasn’t lost a thing.
