an evaluation of ajax-enabled java-based web application frameworks
When building rich user experience web applications, an abundance of web application frameworks is available and only little guidance for making the decision which one to choose. The objective of this study was to evaluate AJAX-enabled, Java-based web application frameworks for adaptation in our project and to devise an economical method to conduct such evaluations. The method we propose mixes comparative analysis and scenario-based empirical evaluation for selection of best-suited web application framework from limited number of candidates. This multi-method approach proved to demonstrate differences in the frameworks that were not practically observable using elemental method. The results suggest that the method we propose would also be applicable for other projects.
