- Enable backwards navigation through Web applications by Maurizio Albari - [Clicks: 38]
Web frameworks like Struts and JavaServer Faces focus only on forward navigation of Web applications. In this article, Maurizio Albari introduces a framework that improves the backwards navigation of Web applications by keeping a server-side navigation history of visited Web pages and visited named sequences of Web pages, also known as Webflows. With the framework, you can also use the server-side navigation history to automatically clean the HTTP session, thus improving application performance. And the best part is that you can still use your favorite Web framework for forward navigation.

In this article, Guillermo Meyer defines the process of skinning a Web application and explains how to skin your own applications with Xkins, a framework for managing skins. You can use Xkins along with other UI frameworks, such as Struts and Tiles. Here, Meyer walks you through an example application that needs two skins and illustrates how to add a unique skin to it.

This article is the first in a series that looks at one of the most fertile areas in open source Java code -- Web frameworks for Java. The Jakarta site alone features three -- Struts, Turbine, and Tapestry, as well as some "meta-frameworks". Each month, we'll feature a different framework (including the upcoming Java Server Faces), look at its important architectural details, and how it differs from the other frameworks available today.

In this article, we are going to build a desktop application to read and post to BrainFeeds. Since it's a real application, we will also be able to cache the feeds and do incremental updates to disk. This lets us do fast real-time searching through the local cache. Also, since we won't have access to a browser anymore, we will customize the HTMLEditorKit to render each entry as HTML directly in our application.

… This article is the first in a two-part series. We will explore designing a simple but robust web service protocol called BrainFeed, considering alternatives and balancing pros and cons. Throughout the process, we will stay focused on making the protocol simple and reuse existing (preferably open) technologies wherever possible. The second article will build on top of the protocol to create an advanced thick client for searching right from the desktop.

Presentations:- Comparing Web Frameworks: Struts, Spring MVC, WebWork, Tapestry & JSF by Matt Raible - [Clicks: 63]
Deciding which Java web framework to use when developing your applications can be a difficult choice. I've often wondered which one is "best" myself. For the past year, I've tried to learn the top five web frameworks for Java: JSF, Spring, Struts, Tapestry and WebWork.
