In the last two years ive tried to learn Spring. I wanted an easier approach to web development. It was too cumbersome to recreate the gui flow for each new project. So i decided to go into MVC. It was heaven compared to how i had it before. Simpler.
I couldnt really get the grasp on Web Flow at that point. It was only recently that i discovered how simple and easy this framework really is.
Web Flow is all about control. You will see all the nifty details and can make sure that the page you are managing has the required behaviour. And all defined in an XML file. And another thing; if i ever decide to use another framework my POJO service and domain classes wont be difficult to make use of.
Some advocate that Web Flow has poor binding support. That binding custom classes is not easy/possible. But I say that its a small matter compared to what I gain. Almost everything can be bound with strings and arrays.
I am creating a cms that is taking use of Web Flow, and its a breeze. No more extended controllers!
