ppt中，一开始Matt先用一组照片展示了他的房子，车子以及他的幸福的一家和他出的书，来显示他做为独立咨询顾问的成功一面。

接下来，展示了他的开发历程

Struts: used since June 2001 - same time 1.0 was released.
Spring MVC: used since January 2004 - before 1.0 was released.
WebWork: used since July 2004.
Tapestry: used since July 2004.
JSF: used since July 2004 - both Sun’s RI and MyFaces.

下面开始比较各个框架，仅摘要如下，请恕本人只看缺点，不看优点。因为优点是说不完的

Struts缺点：

ActionForms - they’re a pain
Can’t unit test - StrutsTestCase only does integration
Project has been rumored as “dead”

Display Tag：

Spring MVC缺点：

Configuration intensive - lots of XML
Requires writing lots of code in JSPs
Almost too flexible - no common parent Controller

WebWork缺点：

Small Community
Documentation is poorly organized

Tapestry缺点：

Documentation very conceptual, rather than
pragmatic
Steep learning curve - very few examples
Long release cycles - major upgrades every year

JSF缺点：

Tag soup for JSPs
Doesn't play well with REST or Security
No single source for implementation

SiteMesh：

IDE支持

Struts has a lot of IDE support and even has frameworks built on top of it (i.e. Beehive’s PageFlow)
Spring has Spring IDE - only does XML validation, not a UI/web tool
WebWork has EclipseWork
Tapestry has Spindle - great for coders
JSF has many, and they're getting better and better
