Good Stripes tutorials / examples? [closed]

Question

The company I just started working for is using Stripes for parts of its web page development these days, and while it seems to be a nice enough web framework it no one really uses it-- it is almost non existent on the 'net. It's not even first in it's google search and the result you do get is for its old home page.

So, do any of you people use Stripes? Of your own volition? Do you know of any good tutorials / examples?

Answer 1

I recommend checking out the book referenced by jko:

a book from The Pragmatic Bookshelf called Stripes: ...and Java web development is fun again

Whilst still in 'beta' the book covers everything very well.

Another good place to start is this ONJava article.

I have used Stripes on a few projects now and have liked it a lot.

It may sound crazy but the Stripes quickstart and sample application documentation on the website does a pretty good job of covering the bases.

This is helped by the fact there is little to Stripes, probably because it is relatively new and not trying to be all things to all people. I would say give the quick-start a try and if by the end of it you are unsatisfied look elsewhere. At the end of the day you and your company have to be happy (and productive) with what you are using irrespective of how many people are using it.

Answer 2

I've never used (or even heard of) Stripes.

Regardless, there's a book from The Pragmatic Bookshelf called Stripes: ...and Java web development is fun again that may be worth checking out. You could also check out the Stripes mailing list archive.
