Metawidget takes your domain objects and automatically creates User Interface components for them, saving you handcoding your UIs and leaving you to concentrate on stitching together your application.
As much as possible, Metawidget does this without introducing new technologies. It inspects, at runtime, an application's existing back-end architecture (such as JavaBeans, annotations, XML configuration files) and creates components native to its existing front-end framework (such as Swing, Java Server Faces, Struts or Android).
Metawidget does not hide the power of your existing User Interface framework from you and guarantees that your investment in its technology and knowledge is as valid as always. The LGPL open source license allows the use of Metawidget in open source and commercial projects.
[fleXive] is a JavaEE 5 open source (LGPL 2.1 or higher) framework for the development of complex and evolving (web-)applications. It speeds up development by easing many tedious and repetitive programming tasks and helping to keep your application(s) flexible during the development-cycle and in production.
Based on the latest industry-standards like EJB 3, JSF, etc. [fleXive] should be your choice for building up your own new application.
JSF Flex goal is to provide users capability in creating standard Flex components as JSF components. So users would create the components as normal JSF components and the project will create the necessary SWC, SWF files and etcetera and link the values of the components back to the managed beans using JSON+Javascript and Actionscript. {standard Flex components has been open sourced through MPL license}
Currently many of the standard rich flex widgets (buttons, sliders, inputs [richTextEditor, textArea, ...], progressbars, colorpickers, various panels [accordion, tabBar, ...], and etcetera) have been written as intention of support.
For application development we use spring and hibernate. For rapid application development there are many pitfalls around. Our mission is to provide a framework that handles all default settings and allows us to quickly start with the development tasks our customers are interested in. So the framework tries to support you by:
* Providing a maven based development environment which uses a proven dependency configuration for fast composition of a working base setup.
* Several utilities were needed during application development extending functions from other utility libraries, e.g. Apache commons.
* Providing a module concept for easy setup and extension of a base application
* Providing reusable and extendable components for common tasks such as application setup, user management, security, history and reporting.
* Providing a base UI implementation based on JSF/MyFaces/MyFaces Trinidad
Where to start
For starting have a look at the quick start tutorial. Within this tutorial a small database application is developed using the most important features provided by the framework.
Die comitatus-webapp-Bibliothek enthält Komponenten, die die Entwicklung von JSF-basierten Datenbankapplikationen, die EJBs als Speichermechanismus verwenden, vereinfacht.
