After several years as the leading Java web application framework, the reign of Apache Struts appears to be drawing to an end. Indeed, the action-based model on which Struts is based is no longer regarded by many as ideal for Java web application development. While Struts and many other Model View Controller (MVC) frameworks from the early 2000s are largely operation-centric and stateless, the frameworks emerging most strongly are component-based and event-driven. The leading contenders in this space are the new "standard", JavaServer Faces (JSF), and Strut's cousin from the Apache Jakarta project, Tapestry.

- Comparing Web Frameworks
Matt Raible has a new presentation in which he compares a sprinkling of web frameworks. He discusses the technical, and political merits of Struts, Spring, Tapestry, WebWork, and JavaServer Faces. Do you agree with his conclusions?
