RE: [Springframework-developer] Component Centric Web Framework for Spring

[Keith D. <ke...@in...>]

Hey Darren,

Could you maybe summarize what you see in Django that would be good
influence for future enhancements to Spring's web stack?  Would be good to
consider and discuss those for the 2.x series and beyond...

One of the features I see on a brief glance I think is important is the
ability to design your on URL scheme using URL mapping expressions.

Cheers,

Keith

If you're familiar with Python, take a look at Django
<http://www.djangoproject.com>.  Similar to RoR (but better IMHO) and the
way much of the cutting edge seems to be moving now in terms of web
development.  Java frameworks are going to need to become a lot leaner in
all respects to keep up.
