02:14 pdurbin "Stripes is a presentation framework for building web applications using the latest Java technologies" -- http://www.stripesframework.org
02:15 pdurbin I'm being told the servlet api is more featureful than most python web frameworks

05:24 aditsu pdurbin: I use wicket - http://wicket.apache.org/
05:24 aditsu "Wicket is code centric. This attracts people who regard programming as an art rather than just a vehicle to get things done"
09:41 pdurbin aditsu: "refreshing lack of XML" :)
09:51 aditsu yeah :)
09:52 aditsu as in xml configuration files
10:42 pdurbin :)
10:42 pdurbin aditsu: any interest in Java EE 7?
10:45 aditsu pdurbin: I never had any interest in any java EE (except servlets if they're considered as part of the EE)
10:46 aditsu I mean, I took a look at some of the apis, and found them to be monstrous abominations
10:47 aditsu it may have improved in recent versions, I don't know
10:47 pdurbin Java Servlet Technology 3.0 (JSR 315) is part of the Java EE 6 standard: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26576_01/doc.312/e24939/release-notes.htm#gipkz
10:47 aditsu I'm ok with servlets, they're relatively lean
10:48 pdurbin that's what I was hearing last night
10:48 pdurbin do you know of any open source apps that are written entirely as servlets?
10:49 aditsu I don't know.. it's too much work to do anything complex with servlets, but they're great for simple stuff
10:50 aditsu some REST implementations might use servlets directly
10:51 aditsu besides, all java web frameworks (that I heard of) rely on the servlet api
10:52 aditsu as the goal is to run in standard servlet containers
10:52 pdurbin right. makes sense

13:12 semiosis google restlet
13:12 crimsonfubot http://restlet.org/
13:13 semiosis that's a java rest framework that doesn't rely on servlet
13:13 semiosis which imho is a strike against it
13:13 pdurbin semiosis: I was gonna say, I was wondering about things that *do* use servlet :)
13:14 semiosis servlet is a low level api for dealing with http, most java web frameworks & apps are built on top of servlet
13:16 semiosis why the sudden interest in servlet?  i thought you were a happy glassfish user
13:17 pdurbin oh, because of a claim that the servlet api is more featureful than most python web frameworks: http://irclog.greptilian.com/sourcefu/2013-04-10#i_5047
13:18 pdurbin that was in ##programming last night
13:19 semiosis interesting, i always thought of servlet (and servlet containers) as being quite spartan, focusing solely on the HTTP protocol interface
13:22 pdurbin semiosis: talking about it here: http://www.evanchooly.com/logs/%23%23jsf/2013-04-10
13:27 pdurbin looks like jforum is open source and only uses the servlet api: http://jforum.net/install.jsp
13:29 semiosis https://github.com/rafaelsteil/jforum3 -- JForum 3. This version is under heavy development, and a lot of stuff is not working yet -- last commit a year ago
13:31 semiosis pdurbin: why do you want an application built directly on top of servlet?
13:32 pdurbin well, I'm not sure that I do... I do like understanding the various layers of the technology stack I'm using though
13:32 semiosis oh ok
13:35 semiosis http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/servletapi/
13:35 semiosis there's not much to it
13:36 semiosis encapsulate HTTP request & response, mediate between HTTP on the socket and java code
13:37 pdurbin pretty low level
13:44 aditsu it has a powerful filter system
