Wafer update

[Jeff Ramsdale <je...@asix.com>]

Hi all,

Ran across this page and searched the archive for references. Found one from
a year or so ago from Sylvain, so I thought it might be time to point it out
again. The Wafer Project compares the feature sets of major Java-based web
application frameworks. Companies love this sort of chart because it can
save a lot of tedious research in making technology decisions. We all know,
though, that it's nearly impossible to know how accurate and/or up-to-date
data like this is on the Internet.

So, I'm wondering if someone who knows the innards of Cocoon better than I
do could help the gentlepeople who created this chart update it with
Cocoon's current feature-set.

If anyone has tips on out-of-date information for other frameworks in the
chart I'd be interested as well.

Jeff

It would be a lot easier on us if we just kept our own
Wiki page up-to-date, then just point such people to it:

Hey?! Where you left the OJB support, it is O/R support?!!!
 :-DDDD

That means: JDO, ODMG support.

Wow, there's a lot that should be checked, i.e.:

I18N (Effortless)
Security (Auth-FW)
Documentation: D,E,F,G,J,T
Error Handling (i.e. <map:handle-errors/>)
IDE Integration (SunBow)
Web Services (WSProxy, HttpProxy)
Direct Database Access (ESQL, etc)
Workflow (The Flowscript)
XML-RPC (This really falls under web services)
Job Scheduling - Scheduler in cron block.

Not sure about EJB or O/R stuff, since I don't mess with it much. It's a 
little hazy by which methods these featuresets are evaluated.
