Frameworks save the day

This article sprang directly from the fact that I found most of the commercial and open-source offerings too complicated or unstable, so I built my own lightweight and easy to use framework to handle the bread and butter tasks in Java / J2EE development:

This article was very well-received. Based on the emails I received, I reckon ~ 200 companies are using it world-wide, including at least three Fortune 500 companies. This article is 4 years old now (an age in Java development time) and I still get emails on it - so reducing complexity is just as hot a topic now (2004) as it was back then..
