How Many Java Web Frameworks Can You Name?
|
|
I've got to admit, after creating a poll for the best Java framework for web development and a bunch of comments later, I came to realization that there are a ridiculous number of them out there. So, just for the fun of it, I'm wondering how many of these can you name? Here's my shot at it:
- Echo
- Cocoon
- Millstone
- OXF
- Struts
- SOFIA
- Tapestry
- WebWork
- RIFE
- Spring MVC
- Canyamo
- Maverick
- JPublish
- JATO
- Folium
- Jucas
- Verge
- Niggle
- Bishop
- Barracuda
- Action Framework
- Shocks
- TeaServlet
- wingS
- Expresso
- Bento
- jStatemachine
- jZonic
- OpenEmcee
- Turbine
- Scope
- Warfare
- JWAA
- Jaffa
- Jacquard
- Macaw
- Smile
- MyFaces
- Chiba
- JBanana
- Jeenius
- JWarp
- Genie
- Melati
- Dovetail
- Cameleon
- JFormular
- Xoplon
- Japple
- Helma
- Dinamica
- WebOnSwing
- Nacho
- Cassandra
That's about it and that's just the open source frameworks, add to it proprietary products and you've got an even longer list!
Now I seriously doubt that I can come up with a list this long for open source web applications written in Java. This leaves me with an even bigger question that the community needs to ask itself. Why are there more open source frameworks in Java than applications? Well maybe this poll might provide an answer.
Serendipitously, is it just fitting that "Cassandra" is the last entry on the list?
