Feed Description: Welcome to my blog. I am a total Java geek that lives in Milwaukee, making my living as an architect/developer, spending all my time with Java, J2EE, OO, Linux, and open source. In my spare time, when I am not in front of my computers, I spend every other minute with my other loves: My wife, books, music, guitars, Formula-1 racing and StarGate.

At first glance, StrutsEJB looks like a pretty interesting project. It provides base classes and patterns to build a Web application using Struts, EJB and JSTL. I'm sure everyone has a little loose collection of classes and patterns that make up a 'framework' or blueprint used for web application development. Mine pretty resolves around Struts for the UI, Stateless EJB for services/business layers with Business Delegates and integration services to connect to databases and other services with a security framework thrown in for authentication, authorization and auditing. StrutsEJB seems to offer pretty much the same stuff plus a few other items. Looks pretty neat - Just downloaded it and will play to see if it's worth playing with.
While we are talking about blueprint applications, I should plug Matt's application called AppFuse that's familiar similar to StrutsEJB.
