Here is the ambitious aim:
I will develop functionally compatible applications using Spring3, J2EE - Glassfish and Tapestry.
I will take notes here as I go along, editing accordingly. I will then publish to my SemanticC blog.
I am more interested in the development process and I include in that what, at the end of an equivalent cycle, the various technologies offer. I will explain this point below but first I should explain my attitude to the technologies starting with an illuminating period using Spring.
I should explain that so far experience with Spring has not been good. Although Spring boasts that it is annotation driven and can be XML configuration free, this has proven very difficult fro me to accomplish.
There are several reasons for this and to understand them it is necessary to look at the shape of the actual project in question, the project profile.
