It's not the same to POST to an URL than to GET it, DELETE it or PUT it. These actions are fundamentally different. However, Django seems to ignore them in its dispatch mechanism. Basically, one is forced to either ignore HTTP verbs completely or do this on every view: def my_view(request, arg1, arg2): if request.method == 'GET': return get_view(request, arg1, arg2) if request.method == 'POST': return post_view(request, arg1, arg2) return http.HttpResponseNotAllowed(['GET', 'POST']) The few solutions I have found for this in the web ( this snippet for verb-based dispatch, or this decorator for

Which is best, or in other words, whish is easiest to use? Stripes or JSF. Although I haven't used both in anger I need to gauge what is the best option to work with for both starting new projects and converting existing Struts projects. I have a fear that JSF won't render as nicely as I want but what are others experiences? Seems Stripes is far more straight forward, would I be correct in this assumption? Which is best, or in other words, which is easiest to use? Stripes or JSF. Which is the best? Well, Stripes and JSF are different. The former is an action-based framework (like Struts) while

Links is a lisp-like functional web programming language/framework that makes it easy to write a single piece of code that is compiled to server-side code, client-side JS and HTML, thus making it much easier to write web applications. Since there really is no distinction between the client and server side, they call it "tierless" programming. With the advent of Server-side JS, are there any comparable frameworks with JS? Note that I don't just mean writing server side and client side code in the same language, but writing server-side and client-side functions that can call each other and
