Areas, in ASP.NET MVC, are handy for breaking a site into smaller, manageable components at a higher level than controllers. They are like mini-MVC pieces within a web application.
Is there an equivalent concept in any Java MVC framework to ASP.NET Areas?
If not, are there any suggestions on best practices when emulating their functionality in a Java MVC framework?
The Java equivalent of ASP.NET (MVC) would be a Java MVC framework. There are a lot of Java-based MVC frameworks out, mostly providing a Servlet/Filter-based controller and taglibs to interact with the model (usually a Javabean) and the view (usually a JSP page, but XHTML is also possible).
If you are an expert at ASP.NET MVC, you need not to spend time on some other complex frameworks but ASP.NET WEBAPI is the best one for you. It works on the same lines as MVC – though it doesn't have System. Web dependency.
After a strong legacy of over two decades now, the net development services still remain relevant. As per a report by w3techs, ASP.NET is still used by 7.9% of all the websites whose server-side programming languages are known.
The view engines used in the ASP.NET MVC 3 and MVC 4 frameworks are Razor and the Web Forms. Both view engines are part of the MVC 3 framework. By default, the view engine in the MVC framework uses Razor .
Try Spring MVC. This may be fulfill your wish.
