Welcome to JaValid
JaValid is an open source framework for validating your Java business objects. JaValid is licensed under the Eclipse Public License 1.0. JaValid 1.2 is the latest release.
JaValid is an annotation-based validation framework, which allows you to annotate your Java objects to introduce validation. JaValid can be used in any type of Java application (standalone application, web application etc). The framework currently provides full integration with the Spring Framework, Java Server Faces, Facelets, and any database. The framework can be extended easily, by means of extensions, and also allows you to add your own validation constraints in addition to the ones shipping with the framework.
The framework is documented well (both the source and the general documentation), so check it out. To learn more, have a look on the documentation page.
The source and distributions are hosted on sourceforge, go to the downloads directly here. You may also want to check out the weblog, which contains some useful information, including several examples.
Have fun using JaValid!
The WaveMaker platform consists of two components: WaveMaker Visual Ajax Studio™ for developing rich internet applications and WaveMaker Rapid Deployment Server™ for deploying applications into a standard and secure Java environment.
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.
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.
Maven Archetypes for Web Applications
This page contains maven archetypes to help you quickly and easily get started on a web project that uses the jetty plugin. Each archetype allows you to generate a template for your project based on the included sample web application. (This supposes that maven 2.x is already installed in your system)
Java framework for CRUD and Validation.
Crank Google Group for Questions and Such
Crank is a master/detail, CRUD, and annotation driven validation framework built with JPA, JSF, Facelets and Ajax. It allows developers to quickly come up with JSF/Ajax based CRUD listings and Master/Detail forms from their JPA annotated Java objects.
Crank uses a lot of the new JSF features from Facelets, Ajax4JSF, etc. that will be used in JSF 2.0. Crank is a use case analysis of what is possible with the new JSF 2.0 stack.
The validation piece does server-side validation, Ajax validation or just emitted JavaScript validation based on Java annotations, property files, XML files, or database tables. Currently works with JSF, Spring MVC and Spring Webflow.
this module makes the integration of spring-annotation and JSF really easy.
* It registers automatically a VariableResolver in the JSF stack to enable the use of the spring beans as managed beans
* it adds 2 (two) more scopes to spring framework: flash and conversation
* it registers a navigation handler in the JSF stack to enable you to write less code
* it adds some annotations to make it easier to write JSF code
