So, how are you enjoying your foray into Java EE? I may be making a similar move and would be interested in your thoughts. Things like what version of Java EE are you using, what pain points have you found, do you feel hampered by the java environment, etc.
Thanks!
- hello_moto 15y agoTools to be productive in Java: 1. Maven + Eclipse/IntelliJ 2. JavaEE 6 and Spring 3.1 (note the specific version) 3. Spring Data (previously known as Hades) 4. JUnit or TestNg and Mockito. 5. Findbugs, Checkstyle, Sonar, and Hudson. You can ignore JSF unless it is the mandate. Sticking with minimum JSP or transmiting JSON works fine regardless your stack of choice. PS: JavaEE 6 supports dependency injection and a bit of AOP.
- cfontes 15y agoIMHO - I love to work with java, I've used all kinds of JEE frameworks and my favorite setup is Spring 3 + Spring MVC for almost all sites... If I need to work on a form filled web site I would use Vaadin or JSF2 + primefaces + EJB 3.1 (EJB 3.1 which is way better then previous versions). Java is great and you can be as productive as you want. Another thing is that the JVM environment is getting richer every year, with more Frameworks and languages. As I said before, Java is a work horse. My fun coding is now in Javascript and Scala, but to work, for me nothing beats Java and it's stack.
