<p>My corporate firewall blocks browsers other than IE. I found a workaround to still being able to use my favorite browser by changing its user agent. But now, the AJAX version of the demo application does not work.</p>

The WingS framework (AJAX UI layer of Jspresso) uses the browser user agent (identifier) to cope with the differences in JavaScript support. Changing the browser user agent makes it recieve inapropriate JavaScript code and generates unexpected results.

<p>How does Jspresso compares to other web application frameworks ?</p>

Jspresso is not another webapp framework. Despite the overlaps you might find between Jspresso and webapp frameworks (look at JBoss Seam, Grails, Struts 2, Ruby on Rails, ...) Jspresso brings an answer to developing N-tier distributed business applications with desktop-like ergonomics. While webapp frameworks concentrate (among other things) on web page flows, this is completely off-topic for Jspresso. Although a Jspresso application can be browser-based (and distributed as an AJAX front-end), there is no explicit page navigation as you would expect from a web application.
