Seems like Rails has got an answer from the Java community in Trails. I havn’t played around with Rails yet, but I skimmed a couple of tutorials on it. To me it seems Trails is even simpler.

What will be the interesting part about it is how to extend and override default behaviour. If that is flexible enough, it might be a good startingpoint for new projects. If not it will probably start you off on a very DB centric path, and that won’t really be Domain Driven Design will it? (Yeah, I’m a big fan of DDD)

Some good info on how to use JSF can be found here. It contains experiences from a real world project.

So I did my first adventure into the world of AJAX today. Nothing fancy, just a lookup on the server for the name of the area based on the zip code. DWR made it all a breeze. I spent a little time figuring out the config, but the amount of config and amount of code I had to do was extremely small. And thanks to the Spring integration it initialised and served up one of my simpler DAOs just like that, no changes to it.

I’m not really that experienced in JavaScript, so this would probably take me ages without DWR. Excellent lib!
