The development time is faster, maintainability is easier,

Having developed both, i also wonder. I find the exact opposite to be true. php is a complete mess to deal with and things get unmaintainable very quickly. The on-page syntax is abhorrant. (JSP can be just as bad if you're not careful, but it's quite possivle to use JSP 2.0 as pure scriptless templates which are a joy to deal with).Originally posted by Ben Souther:

Everyone has an opinion. We evaluated Spring and then spent just as much time ripping it out. All we found that it did was to complicate things needlessly.Originally posted by Jeff Storey:
I actually read an article (I forget who the quote was from, but it was a respected J2EE community member) saying that it doesn't make sense to try and develop a J2EE web app without the use of Spring.
Fabulously. And quite profitably, I might add (at least for my company if not myself).Have you developed large scale apps without a framework? How did that work out?
If it works for you, have at it. I find it painful.Also though, assuming I like the maintainability and usability better of PHP

I'm basing these on experience. I've found that, especially with Spring, beandef files can start to get a little overwhelming and hard to maintain. But, putting this difference aside, do you have any other thoughts on my questions?

but what else? Would it be possible (or advisable) to develop, say a banking web system, in PHP rather than J2EE?

are there any real disadvantages or things I really can't do (maybe security or transaction related) with the latest versions of PHP?
