HotJava

下面開始比較各個框架，僅摘要如下，請恕本人只看缺點，不看優點。因為優點是說不完的
Struts: used since June 2001 - same time 1.0 was released.
Spring MVC: used since January 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.?

Struts缺點：

ActionForms - they’re a pain
Can’t unit test - StrutsTestCase only does integration
Project has been rumored as “dead”

Display Tag：

Spring MVC缺點：

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

WebWork缺點：

Small Community
Documentation is poorly organized

Tapestry缺點：

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

JSF缺點：

Tag soup for JSPs
Doesn't play well with REST or Security
No single source for implementation

SiteMesh：

?

IDE支持

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 many, and they're getting better and better
