I have a general question regarding all the different frameworks out
there (Struts, Spring, Tapestry, WebWork, Cocoon, etc...). As a
front-end developer, I hate using frameworks that try to "generate"
all kinds of html/javascript code for you. I like to have total
control over things like that. I'm very picky about my html code, my
js code and especially my CSS code.

What I wanted to know is, out of all the different frameworks that
"simplify" web development for you, which one of them generates the
cleanest, xhtml, standards compliant code out of them all? Or rather,
which one doesnt generate anything for you and lets you do it
yourself. I dont like frameworks like Struts and JSF because they just
provide tags that generate whatever html they want. I have no control
over it. I was playing around with a JSF tutorial and one of the tags
(CommandLink I think) generated some nasty javascript code and
attached it to my hyperlinks to post my forms. Thats the kind of thing
I dont like.

So, from all the different frameworks that everyones played with,
which one would you say is the "cleanest" as far as the code
generation (or no code generation) ?

Thank you, now everyone can get back to their regular Keeling .. =]
