Apache Struts 2

Apache Struts 2 is MVC (Model View Controller) design pattern based user interface development (UI) framework. Struts2 plays the role of Controller within the MVC design, where the View could be any view technology like JSPs/Tiles, JSF etc and the Model could be JavaBeans or Enterprise Java Beans(EJBs) etc. Just like other major J2/EE frameworks it is POJO (Plain Old Java Objects) based development framework, which facilitates testing and decoupling.

It is an elegant, extensible framework for creating enterprise-ready Java web applications. The framework is designed to streamline the full development cycle, from building, to deploying, to maintaining applications over time.
Apache Struts 2 was originally known as WebWork 2. After working independently for several years, the WebWork and Struts communities joined forces to create Struts². This new version of Struts is simpler to use and closer to how Struts was always meant to be.

Open Source Web Frameworks in Java

Tapestry
Tapestry is a powerful, open-source, all-Java framework for creating leading edge web applications in Java.

Cocoon
Apache Cocoon is a web development framework built around the concepts of separation of concerns and component-based web development.

MyFaces
MyFaces is an implementation of JavaServer(tm) Faces (JSR 127), a new and upcoming web application framework that accomplishes the MVC paradigm

Spring
Spring is a layered Java/J2EE application framework, based on code published in Expert One-on-One J2EE Design and Development.

Google Web Toolkit
Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is a Java software development framework that makes writing AJAX applications like Google Maps and Gmail easy for developers who don't speak browser quirks as a second language.

Turbine
Turbine is a servlet based framework that allows experienced Java developers to quickly build secure web applications.


WebOnSwing
WebOnSwing is a revolutionary multiple environment application framework that allows you to create web applications in the same way you develope a desktop one. You dont need to use JSP files, special tags, XML files, requests, posts, etc.

ThinWire
ThinWire is a development framework that allows you to easily build applications for the web that look and feel like the desktop applications you're familiar with.

Induction
Induction is a powerful, high performance, Java MVC web application framework. Induction supports dynamic application reloading, type-based dependency injection and dependency analysis between models, views and controllers.

jZeno
jZeno is an open source java development framework that offers the ability to develop rich web applications.

Aurora
Aurora is an open-source MVC framework that is aimed at writing configurable, fully object-oriented form controllers using the Spring Framework.

Vroom
Vroom is a framework for HTML/JSP and Java code binding. It's extremely simple to use and very powerful. It can control your HTML widgets on the fly. It can be applied independently as JSP/Servlet Model or can be integrated with Struts, JSF, YUI etc. No custom tags, no complex configurations, just simple binding configuration file and backing beans.

Struts
The core of the Struts framework is a flexible control layer based on standard technologies like Java Servlets, JavaBeans, ResourceBundles, and XML, as well as various Jakarta Commons packages. Struts encourages application architectures based on the Model 2 approach, a variation of the classic Model-View-Controller (MVC) design paradigm.


Millstone
a nice alternative to struts like framework you do not need to write a single HTML line

Wicket
Wicket is a Java web application framework that takes simplicity, separation of concerns and ease of development to a whole new level. Wicket pages can be mocked up, previewed and later revised using standard WYSIWYG HTML design tools. Dynamic content processing and form handling is all handled in Java code using a Swing-like component model backed by POJO data beans that can easily be persisted with Hibernate.


SwingWeb
Swingweb is an implementation of AWT toolkit that enables AWT/Swing application to be operating inside a web container and presented as a web application to the web browser, purely in HTML/CSS/javascript.

ZK
ZK is an AJAX-based, event-driven, XUL-compliant, all Java framework for enabling Web applications to have the rich user experiences. With intuitive event-driven model, you represent your application in feature-rich XUL components, and manipulate these components by listening to events triggered by users, as simple as you did for years in desktop applications. No JavaScript. No replication of business logic at the clients. No proprietary components. No compilation. ZK works with existent frameworks and technologies, such as JSF and Portals, so the pace of adapting it is all under your control.

Flower framework
A minimalistic framework that helps you in converting your Spring beans into HTTP-accessible controllers using one servlet and a few additional lines in your XML application context. This framework uses Extensible XML authoring feature available in Spring and allows you to expose the bean using just one additional XML attribute on your bean.

Spring

Spring focuses around providing a way to manage your business objects.

Spring is an ideal framework for test driven projects

Applications built using Spring are very easy to unit tes

Spring can make the use of EJB an implementation choice, rather than the determinant of

application architecture. You can choose to implement business interfaces as POJOs or local

EJBs without affecting calling code

Spring provides a consistent framework for data access

this consistency in the Spring approach to JDBC, JMS, JavaMail, JNDI and many other important

APIs.

Spring's main aim is to make J2EE easier to use and promote good programming practice

no logging packages in Spring, no connection pools, no distributed transaction coordinator

Spring container manages relationships between objects

Dependency Injection is a form of IoC that removes explicit dependence on container API, two

major flavors of Dependency Injection are Setter Injection (injection via JavaBean setters);

and Constructor Injection (injection via constructor arguments)

highly configurable MVC web framework

Spring's MVC model is most similar to that of Struts, although it is not derived from Struts

Spring Controller is similar to a Struts Action in that it is a multithreaded service object


Spring provides a very clean division between controllers, JavaBean models, and views

Spring MVC is truly view-agnostic. You don't get pushed to use JSP if you don't want to; you

can use Velocity, XLST or other view technologies

custom view mechanism - for example, your own templating language - you can easily implement

the Spring View interface to integrate it
