Comparación de Java Web Framework

Submitted by willyxoft on Jue, 11/05/2009 - 13:24

Semanas atras en el blog Simple Thoughts se publicó una lista, sin ordenar, de los que según su autor son los 10 mejores Web Framework para Java, acompañada con cometarios de sus virtudes y defectos, pero sin mas ayuda que su opinión. De cualquier forma a continuación la listo:

El artículo completo se puede leer en: 10 Best Java Web Development Framework.

Un poco mejor estructurada fue la encuesta realizada por Kimberly McClintock acerca Web Framework (la mayoría para Java) a un grupo de “expertos”. La encuesta consistió básicamente en 5 preguntas:

  1. What’s the ’sweet spot’ of your project? For what type of projects should users strongly consider it?
  2. What type of scenarios does your project not fit into as well? Would you recommend another project in this scenario? If so, which one?
  3. Of the projects included here, which have you tried? Of those, which ones did you like or dislike, and why?
  4. What is the future of this project? What’s coming that will ease development?
  5. Are there myths about this project that you’d like to challenge?

Si bien los resultados de la encuesta tampoco califican numéricamente, si ofrece una matriz de comparativa con las distintas valoraciones, brindando al menos una herramienta que ayuda a la toma de decisiones.

La matriz de resumen así como las respuestas completas se pueden consultar en: Web Framework Project Comparison Matrix.

Así por ejemplo para la primera pregunta se obtuvieron las siguientes respuestas:
