Presentation: "Componentisation in the web presentation layer"

Time: Thursday 11:15 - 12:00

Location: Bastille

Abstract: We contrast action-oriented frameworks (such as Spring MVC and Struts) with component-oriented frameworks such as JSF, Wicket, and Tapestry, and perhaps even non-Java approaches. The value of the latter approach becomes apparent when we want to reuse views (or sub-views) across a number of presentation deployments (e.g., to various audiences, in portlets as well as web applications). Some patterns for use and testing will be discussed, as well as future directions.
