Well, I had thought that I was going to go with JSF due to popularity and such, but I have had a change of heart. Partly due to my own devices, but mainly cause I am not worried about what is popular, but what works best. Instead I am going to go with Wicket.

Wicket may not be the most popular framework, but it melds with the way I think, and since this is code that I am going to write and maintain, well I am going to go with something that I like. If I wanted to get it done super quickly I would go with PHP, but then when it comes to maintainability I would be lost. There are people out there that might disagree, but for me and my way of thinking Java works better. This is not to bash Microsoft’s .NET implementation, but I do not have those tools or services at my disposal.

So far, I have not even had the chance to get started on this fun little project. Hopefully here soon I will begin. The main problem is that I have to get other projects done prior to beginning work on this one. The funny thing is that none of those other projects are Java projects. Instead they are all in Perl, Bash, sh, or ksh. In addition to my regular work, I also have a fun little Power Point Presentation that I need to pull out of thin air. Hopefully soon something will get going.
