Web Frameworks Comparison Concerning the Efficiency of Development

Almost all enterprise web projects today are implemented in some kind of web framework. The frameworks differ in philosophy, features and support for other popular frameworks and technologies. The aim of this thesis was to compare Struts 2, Tapestry and Spring WebFlow frameworks and give the application developers and architects an overview about the implementation process and complexity of each framework to help them decide, which framework to choose for their projects. The thesis defines criteria for the frameworks comparison. The comparison is done on a case study which has been implemented in Struts 2 and Tapestry and research on the integration possibilities of Spring WebFlow with Struts 2 and Tapestry has been done. The implementation process has been described in detail with all the problems that occurred during the implementation phase. Finally, the measurements have been made according to the defined criteria and final recommendations have been proposed
