Using the Click Framework

I happened to come across a the Click Framework∞ while looking for a suitable page rendering library for us in Songbird's internal projects. I was looking for a combination of simplicity, extensibility and ease of use.

I tried each of the following frameworks:

• Wicket
• JBOSS Seam
• Spring Web Flow
• Struts
• Tapestry
• And a few others which I don't even remember now.

I was truly struck by the simplicity of the Click framework. I highly recommend it.

What sets the Click framework apart are:

• Its simplicity. Click can be understood in about 10 minutes with absolutely no exaggeration.
• Good documentation with plenty of examples
• Good integration possibilities with Spring
• Good integration with ACEGI and other security frameworks
• Support for AJAX
