Dear experts, The author of the Play! 2 framework<http://www.playframework.org/> claims the Play! 2 to be as high-productivity and scalable web framework, Because it doesn't rely on any Java EE layer such as servlet api, though can use JVM and java api.
Reading introductory chapter<http://www.manning.com/leroux/leroux_meap_ch01.pdf> of his book, I had a picture that anything relying on Java EE is dying technology (or author wanted to create such picture of his reader) Play framework is an action based framework comparing to Tapestry which is component based. I'd like to address a question, but not in terms of what is better, rather this one: Is it really anything based on servlet api, Tapestry for example, is a dying technology? Regards, Vladimir Bauer
