Roll your own MVC framework
Howdy,
I'd like to know how to go on about rolling a custom made MVC framework. I have a basic understanding of OOP and that stuff yet I find myself feeling lost when it comes to this area. Are there any goodbooks or tutorials out there that discuss this topic?
Granted, there are thousands of open source frameworks but I get easily overwhelmed just by glancing at the code.

I don't want to use Struts or any other existing framework. I would like to build my own but for that I need some material. Are there really no books, blogs, tutorials or anything on this topic?- Adam

Start with reading all the specs. Read the HTML and HTTP specs so you know all about request methods, headers, response codes, etc. Then read the servlet, jsp, and JSF specs. Take a very close look at servlet filters and tag libraries.
You should look at a few of the most popular frameworks. And also look at some less popular, but cool frameworks. Especially anything that has the word AJAX in it. Most will have a 'getting started' type tutorial. See what you like and what you don't like.

Yes I should probably read the specs a lot, I will do that.I will look at the different frameworks. I like different parts from Tapestry, Struts and Wicket. Struts seems to be extremely well-documented!
