“I suspect if you talk to people that worked on many of the initiatives cited in the document, they may not necessarily characterize them as rebel,” Bryant said.
Burton recommends that customers use caution in considering rebel frameworks, as they are based on single, non-standardized implementations. But these frameworks can make development teams more productive by providing simpler alternatives and supplements to J2EE. Struts, for its part, already has become a de facto standard.
The frameworks are a good choice when organizations are looking for low-level, productive frameworks for building enterprise applications, according to Burton. The J2EE programming model, Burton said, has disadvantages in complexity, which are compounded when APIs such as EJB, JDBC, and JNDI (Java Naming and Directory Interface) are used together.
Open source has served as an agile development paradigm encouraging frequent updates and modifications, thus staying better aligned with current theories and practices in enterprise development. The JCP, on the other hand, has lagged far behind in this respect, Burton said. Open source also has embraced simplification while J2EE emphasizes use of low-level APIs, according to Burton. Rebel frameworks can make J2EE development easier and more productive, and thus bolster the J2EE platform, Burton said.

Server virtualization is a popular option for dealing with mounting datacenter costs. Another equally promising approach is the use of an Application Delivery Controller. Citrix NetScaler provides a low-cost way for organizations to reduce their server count and accrue cost savings from a reduction in space, cooling, power and personnel.
