hi,
at least i could manage some time to write about Stripes (http://stripes.mc4j.org/)

stripes is a web framework, it has very few dependencies, configuration over convention is highly adopted on Stripes.

you don’t need to bother about any separate XML file or properties file, it is as simple as web.xml servlet configuration. just put your all configuration over

more over it has default convention centric url discovery… for example “HelloAction”.. this action can be accessed over “http:///Hello.htm” or whatever u map on url mapping.

very flexible system. it has very simple work flow management, (who already familiar with JSF navigation or Spring web flow will be interested on its work flow)

by default it has multi action on each class, and you can override the url or any settings over @annotation. which is the most powerful feature over stripes.

web form validation is one of the nice and simple approaches over stripes. i am really loving it..
you can apply validation rule over @annotation. here is few example.. hope it will give you clean understanding.

@ValidateNestedProperties({
@ValidateNestedProperties({
@Validate( field = “accountName”, required = true, on = {“register”}),
@Validate( field = “password”, required = true, minlength = 6, on = {“register”})})
private User user;

@Validate( expression = “user.password == this”, on = “register”, required = true)
private String confirmPassword;

it has support over spring container, so spring developer won’t get you out…

best wishes…
