Was not able to escape HTML tags in dzone editor to show the snippet.

Not only an alternative. I simply can not find another framework around (not necessarily Java framework) that provides anything like HybridJava MVC component model where each component has it own M, V and C encapsulated into a single Java class instance.

I don't buy it. It's just ugly.

HJ is also the german abbreviation for "Hilterjugend" ("hitler youth")

That manages to make even JSP seem graceful by comparison. I'll stick to using Rails for my web work and Java for the heavy lifting, this is a non-starter.

JFaces is a typo of course. Should be JSF(aces)
