JSP vs JSF/Facelets vs Velocity vs ...? How can I render a view fast?

[Jochen Szostek]

Hi all,

As I'm quite new to front-end design and I'm building a webapp (spring 3 based) from scratch, I've read serveral times JSP can be quite slow.

Would there be a better (read: faster) solution?

JSF/facelets seems interesting so I wonder if this is faster than plain old JSP?

Thanks in advance!
All info appreciated a lot.

Greets,

Jochen

As JSF piles a whole lot of stuff on top of JSP, how could it be faster? If you're experiencing slowness, it's highly unlikely that it's the JSP engine. Use a profiler tool and find out where the real bottleneck is.

Good point. I guess I better just keep on developing instead of doing proactive problem resolving based on some blog articles. After all if you have a well designed app you can switch technologies in no time.

Thanks a lot for the fast reply.
Have a nice weekend!
