Fun/flamebait: Java Web Devel Stacks

Rails
1

I’ll pose a question partly for fun, partly out of interest to see
what everyone else is doing to survive the pain of the day job. It’s
for the professional J2EE developer converts out there.

Let’s say someone hired you to write a Basecamp clone, but it has to
be done in Java, say on the Tomcat or JBoss platform. What does your
stack look like now that you’ve been bitten by the Ruby/Rails
rhetoric?

Cheers,

Ed

There is only one true way to develop database driven application: HTML
DB!

PL/SQL rules!

I’m not sure I’d ever do a web app like basecamp in any environment,
including Rails. But Rails has had a profound influence on the way I’m
designing my database schemas now, even though I’m not using Rails at
all yet. So in that sense, my “stack” does look different now.

I would recommend looking at http://wicketframework.org/ - This is
personally my favorite because you have html templates with all your
code in java that define how the template
should be rendered rather than having code mixed in with your
templates. AJAX is also done completely in Java code.

or if you want a direct (as much as possible) rails conversion try
http://opensails.org or http://grails.codehaus.org/
