I will be giving a presentation on open source Java web application frameworks at the South Florida Java Users Group if anyone is interested. The meeting is January 16th, 6:30 PM at Nova University in Ft. Lauderdale. I will be giving an overview of what web application frameworks are and then will explain the strengths and weaknesses of six different frameworks:

JPublish

Speaking of JPublish, I am currently working on the 0.7 release. My research into other frameworks has helped me realize that I need to focus on initial installation and ease-of-use of JPublish. To that end I am creating several WAR files which can be dropped into any servlet engine which supports WAR files. This has been challenging because currently JPublish requires full paths or paths relative to the working directory, whereas a servlet engine should use paths relative to the application context. It is coming along though, and I hope to have the next release out before my presentation.
