Overview of existing Java web frameworks
Is there a canonical site / book / article I can go to that discusses the hundreds of existing Java Web Framework and compares their strengths, capabilities, and weaknesses objectively?
Please note that I am not asking which structure is better. Others have already done so. I am looking for a comparative overview of existing frameworks.

Matt Raible , from AppFuse fame made a good comparison for you.
It compares the most popular structures in many aspects (from comparison):
- List screens : how easy is it to code pages, sortable lists?
- Bookmark . Can users of bookmarks and return to them easily?
- Validation : How easy is it to use and does it support client side validation (JavaScript)?
- Testability : how easy is it to test controllers from a container?
- Message and redirection . How does the framework deal with the problem of duplicate messages?
- Spring Integration : Does the framework support using Spring in the middle tier; how easy?
- Internationalization . How is i18n supported and how easy is it to receive messages in controllers?
- Page decoration : What page layout mechanisms does the framework support?
- Tools . Is there good support (specifically IDEs) for the framework?
- Market ability of skills . If you study structure, will it help you get a job?
- Work schedule . What is the need for structure skills on dice.com?
