Day II TSSJS

Looking through the agenda briefly, regarding Web Application frameworks, there are only two presentations on webframeworks this year, Wicket and RIFE. Not to many people had even heard of those last year. The proliferation of frameworks in the web space really says something about the maturity or lack of such in this space. Rife has continuations which enables a really interesting programming model the reaches far beyond being able to support using the back button in the browser.

Enabling productivity, effective development environments and a component based model like JSF, maybe where everything is expressed in java will be the way to go I beleive. I have been doing a bit of JSP programming and JSTL 2.0 lately. In combination with clever use of CSS like Maxdesign makes webdevelopment much more simple, event not as simple as I would like to.
