* Interfaced persistence layer
* OO Design
* Integration component for Turbine web applications
Tagonist is a laughably simple java web application framework.
Overview
Tagonist is an ultra-lightweight MVC webapp framework, similar in principle to Struts, WebWork, or Maverick. Like its cousins, Tagonist offers:
* Clean separation of code and content - no need for scriptlets
* Form processing by conveniently populating beans from the HTTP request attributes
However, unlike its cousins, Tagonist:
* Is trivial to learn and use. One look at the examples and you will understand how to write your webapp immediately. There are just two custom tags.
* Is trivial to configure. There no servlets to configure and no XML to muck with. Just drop the tagonist.jar in your WEB-INF/lib and start using the two tagonist custom tags in your JSPs.
* Integrates seamlessly into any JSP-based portal or even other webapp frameworks. Your JSP includes tagonist actions, not the other way around.
* Encourages development of fine-grained actions which can be composed arbitrarily on a page. You don't need to have one action class per screen.
* Allows many HTML developers to work on a project without fighting over checkouts for some sort of XML sitemap configuration file.
* Is composed of 8 java classes and less than 500 lines of code (including whitespace). Anyone can see how it works.
* An ant task called the "propertizer" that automatically generates getter and setter methods when you annotate fields with @Property
* is language-neutral: it will allow the writing of software libraries for communicating with JMS providers in any language that has libraries for communicating over HTTP.
* is RESTful: it provides a RESTful equivalent to all of the non-optional portions of the JMS API including
o registration of resources administered by the messaging provider
o connection and session management
o sending and receipt of all types of JMS message
Implementation overview
HJB
*
is deployed as a servlet (HJBServlet), that can run on any compliant Servlet specification 2.4 container.
*
will work with any messaging vendor that provides a JMS interface.
*
aims to do one thing well. Its role is to act as an HTTP gateway server for JMS resources. Other potentially useful features are deliberately excluded, e.g,
o HTTP session management
o authentication and authorization
Gabriel is a security framework to restrict actions of users.
Think about EJB security but without EJB.
Gabriel is a security framework for Java. By using access control lists and permissions, Gabriel enables components to check access to actions. On top of that Gabriel protects methods like EJB does but without the overhead. It distinguishes itself from other frameworks by the ease of use with a small API and by mapping method access to permissions instead of persons. This way the same permissions can be used to protect method access and to check which GUI elements to show based on user permissions.
Apache ODE (Orchestration Director Engine) executes business processes written following the WS-BPEL standard. It talks to web services, sending and receiving messages, handling data manipulation and error recovery as described by your process definition. It supports both long and short living process executions to orchestrate all the services that are part of your application.
The Security Annotation Framework (SAF) is an instance-level access control framework driven by Java 5 annotations. It can be easily integrated into Spring applications which primarily use the SAF to control access to their domain object instances. SAF security annotations define locations in the source code where the SAF shall perform permission checks at runtime. An annotation-driven approach to instance-level access control promotes the separation of an application’s security logic from its business logic. This significantly increases the testability and reusability of application components. It further allows the implementation of instance-level access control features into existing applications without modifying existing business logic.
GridGain is a computational grid framework. Its goal is to improve general performance of processing intensive applications by splitting and parallelizing the workload. In many cases GridGain is used to achieve better overall throughput, better scalability or availability of services.
Following picture illustrates the basic idea behind processing grids:
genesis is an open-source framework that aims to bring simplicity and productivity to enterprise application development, ensuring scalability, robustness and testability of your software. The main goal is to simplify the development of business components and the construction of complex graphical interfaces with minimum effort for developers. To accomplish its mission, genesis combines several open-source frameworks in a completely transparent way for developers, through the use of AOP (Aspect Oriented Programming). Our main challenge is to allow people with little knowledge of the Java platform to develop robust applications fast, without requiring them to learn several new technologies and complex concepts. We invite you to experience our approach to the problem.
One of the biggest promises of Business Process Management was that the business people can model and execute their business processes without involvement from IT folks. This promise was kept in a simple workflow sceanarios by utilizing limited number of 'built-in' activity types of BPMS packages but once you face little more complex business process sceanarios providing transactional integration with existing software and complex interactions with human beings, this limited expression power make it hard to drag and drop process modeling, and finally it brings a huge help from software vendors or system integrators and write a lot of code that is making processes utterly inflexible downstream. That means, concurrent BPMS is extremely lack in something like 'Technical Abstraction' and 'Expression Extensibility'.
Project Open ESB implements an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) runtime using Java Business Integration as the foundation. This allows easy integration of web services to create loosely coupled enterprise class composite applications.
The intention for this project is a very simple API to call different kinds of services (provider/technology). Crispy's aims is to provide a single point of entry for remote invocation for a wide number of transports: eg. RMI, EJB, JAX-RPC or XML-RPC. It works by using properties to configure a service manager, which is then used to invoke the remote API. Crispy is a simple Java codebase with an API that sits between your client code and the services your code must access. It provides a layer of abstraction to decouple client code from access to a service, as well as its location and underlying implementation. The special on this idea is, that these calls are simple Java object calls (remote or local calls are transparent).
From the authors of the German book "JSF@work" (see http://jsfatwork.irian.at). A lightweight framework for J2EE web applications which makes a clean step out of session handling problems when using persistence frameworks. Also features like aspect oriented JSF are introduced. All provided by a best-practice web application.
Bestehende JavaServer Faces-Komponenten um Ajax-Funktionalität zu erweitern, das geht mittlerweile recht einfach. Und das, ohne sich in eine Ajax-Bibliothek einzuarbeiten, Umwege über Servlets zu machen oder sonstige, nicht auf den JSF-Lifecycle abgestimmte Techniken zu benutzen.
The Google Web Toolkit (GWT) has attracted a lot of attention lately as a way to make it easier for developers to add AJAX Web 2.0 features to their applications. Like other approaches, the designers of GWT have tried to insulate developers from having to deal with the underlying JavaScript, which implements these features. GWT achieves this goal of simplifying the creation of advanced client-side JavaScript widgets by generating them from Java code.

jZeno is an open source java full-stack development environment that offers the ability to develop rich web applications. The main architectural goal of jZeno is to allow people to create web applications using pure java development as much as possible. Largely reducing the need to know technologies like javascript, HTML, CSS, database specific SQL, and tons of different APIs. Limiting the amount of APIs, technologies and programming styles allows developers to learn a smaller set of skills much deeper. We think this set of skills should be : a thorough understanding of java, OO development and design patterns.

Stripes is a presentation framework for building web applications using the latest Java technologies. The main driver behind Stripes is that web application development in Java is just too much work! It seems like every existing framework requires gobs of configuration. Struts is pretty feature-light and has some serious architectural issues (see Stripes vs. Struts for details). Others, like WebWork 2 and Spring-MVC are much better, but still require a lot of configuration, and seem to require you to learn a whole new language just to get started.
