Meeting....: Silicon Valley Java Users Group (SVJUG)

Time.......: November 5th, 2003

Cost.......: Always FREE to all!

Topic......: Struts and JavaServer Faces: Competition or Coexistence?

Speaker....: Craig McClanahan, Sun Microsystems.(http://www.sun.com)

Description:

The Struts Framework is an open source framework for
building web applications based on Model-View-Controller
(MVC) design principles. It has been available for
over three years, and is a popular de facto standard
with widespread adoption, lots of learning resources,
and a supportive and helpful user community. JavaServer
Faces is an upcoming standard API for building user
interface components for web applications, being
developed under the Java Community Process as JSR-127.
It is currently in public draft, and is moving towards
the next phases of the process as we speak. As was
already clear at last summer's JavaOne keynotes,
JavaServer Faces is going to have rich support for a
wide variety of development tools as well, shortly
after it goes final

Speaker Bio:

Craig McClanahan is a Senior Staff Engineer for
Sun Microsystems, with primary responsibilities for
the evolution of the web tier portion of the J2EE
platform. Craig is uniquely qualified to give this
talk, because he is both the original creator of the
Struts Framework, and co-Specification Lead for
JavaServer Faces (JSR-127)
