One reason is because it is what I and my partner know. Another reason is that it has good existing tool support. I'm not fully convinced that I want to return to the world of VIM and the command line compiler ala Scala. Instead I'll work with Eclipse and Tomcat. Finally, I'm not yet convinced that I should really jump on the hipster band wagon. Node and Mongo are a really great pair for something's, but I don't know if I want to base my entire future on it. Java is an established platform running apps requiring more performance than mine. To go to a language because it "scales" better according to the most recent hive think seems silly.
- siavosh 15y agoThanks. Other than Struts, are there any other web frameworks you would recommend?
- squidsoup 15y agoIf you want a full stack framework like Rails, Play is fantastic (http://www.playframework.org/ http://www.playframework.org/) and is also now part of the TypeSafe stack (Play supports both Java and Scala). If you prefer the more minimalistic approach to web development, or want to focus on building a clientside application, Jersey (jersey.java.net/) is an excellent framework for building restful webservices.
- virmundi 15y agoA nice MVC for apps is Stripes. It has a few quirks, but it is extendable and plays relatively well with Spring.
