First Magazine Article: Challenges in the J2EE Web Tier
It's official - I've written (and published) my first article in a magazine. If you received the July issue of Java Developer's Journal, you'll see my article titled Challenges in the J2EE Web Tier.
Over the course of its life, the J2EE Web Tier has faced many challenges in easing Web application development. While it's a scalable, enterprise-ready platform, it isn't exactly developer-friendly. Particular challenges to Web developers include the need for a standard Web framework, compatible expression languages, and availability of components. Several Web frameworks have been developed to resolve these issues, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. This article discusses the unique challenges of the J2EE Web Tier and how various technologies have attempted resolve them. By learning from and competing with each other, these Web technologies play an important role in pushing the limits of excellence to produce ever-higher standards of Web application development.
Enjoy!

"Youch - 3 years to write a web framework, eh?!"
JSF isn't a web framework - its a standard/specification - and thats never a quick process.

You also might checkout my Java Web Frameworks Whitepaper. Just to warn you, it's written at a much higher-level and doesn't dive into much technical detail, if any.
