Vraptor Reviews & Product Details

I really like VRaptor for the ease of agile improvement, without interfering with the vision of the challenge, allowing the developer to create the most unique class of surrender and it is fully compatible with HTML, CSS, JQuery. Simplicity is what is exceptional about the Vraptor framework. Additionally, it has a first-class network with quick and correct pleasant feedback. It is easy to write unit tests.

On the way as an open-source challenge, I could jump in and solve the problem I found, however, although many problems appear on a mission that doesn't have time for that and no one else is supporting it, things must be exchanged quickly, and so I did, I migrated this project to Spring. Complicated now, not only as the framework, but I consider that the front layer can be negative and terrible at the same time factor, as it could have difficulties and require understanding languages like CSS, HTML, and JavaScript. The documentation can be better and more complete with a series of examples and opportunities to apply this framework. A disadvantage of the framework is that it does not support the JSF specification, if it were feasible, I trust it could be a perfect crossover. While there are numerous desirable features and thoughts, the web is not built in any way at all in a way that one should absolutely believe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like VRaptor the ease of an agile development, without interfering with the vision of the project, leaving the developer to create the most different types of front-end and is fully compliant with HTML, CSS, JQuery. It is also possible to inject dependencies, using EJB, JPA and any Java development specification. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Complicated not like the framework, but I believe the front-end layer can be a negative and negative at the same time point, since it would have the difficulty and require knowledge of languages like CSS, HTML and JavaScript.

A downside of the framework is not compatible with the JSF specification, if it were possible, I believe that would be a perfect junction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

VRaptor always surprised me with its simplicity, in the 3rd version of the framework (that was Spring-based) there were many features that made me use it instead of the pure Spring. The 4th version came with some improvements and major changes and a lot of feature to keep the framework on the horizon of competing Java web frameworks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although there are many good features and ideas, the community never really built upon it in a way that one could really trust. As I was a fierce user of the 3rd version and started another project on the 4th version, I became completely disappointed with the major flaws and lack of interest from other parties. Of course as an open-source project I could jump in and fix the issue I encountered, but when many issues appears on a project that has no time for that and no one else is helping, things must quickly change (and so I did, I migrated this project to Spring).

Simplicity is the best of the Vraptor framework. If you need to create a simple app the vratpor setup is simple, in 5 minutes or less you could setup a web application, with support REST and industry frameworks, like: hibernate, spring, EJB(if you need) and templates support.

Other thing, with vraptor you can use just 'jsp' to code UI, to us it's awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Community is growing, but when we built the app, the community is so tiny.

Until exists community forum, but is not help to solve all problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

constantly updated according to APIS launched recently, per example the last release has support to use CDI to dependency injection. Excellent plugins developed by the community for access control, e-mail sending, image crop .... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Developer community small and concentrated in Brazil, solve a question may take more time, it is not easy to find the answer in forums Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vraptor is very powerful and easy to use. I'm using it on my projects and suggesting it to my friends. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I had fatal errors with some plugins like vraptor-i18n and vraptor-shiro due to version incompatibility. Since it's a free software, I made a pull request with the solution (it was simple) for vraptor-i18n and changed from vraptor-shiro to vraptor-brutauth (more mature).

I've been using vraptor since version 3 and I can say that is very easy and simple and flexible MVC framework.

I will highlight some features:

It provide a convention over configuration route system, but you can easily put annotations on controller methods to change that or even override the default route system.

Thoroughly based on CDI so you can easily integrate on JavaEE servers .

Good extensions architecture allowing you writing extensions components easily.

Good documentation and samples.

It's easy to write unit tests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My unique dislike about vraptor is that the framework could provide Websockets seamless integrations.

Framework is very easy to usem with a really small learning curve. Using VRaptor, I can create REST APIs and Web Applications as fast as Rails, for example. Besides, it has a great community with fast and good quality feedbacks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It could have an official scaffolding, since one that exists is not updated a long time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For me the best is how can I develop Java web applications using the raw REST idea. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The documentation could be better and more complete with a lot of examples and possibilities to use this framework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Annotation is the best thing about vraptor, and its ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There should be a way to type each view with its respective received object, as in ASP.NET MVC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
