Stripes is a Java web framework with the goal of making Servlet/JSP based web development in Java as easy, intuitive and straight-forward as possible. Stripes has always been guided by the following principles: * Convention over configuration (CoC) * Extremely lightweight with very few external dependencies. * Quick, iterative code/deploy/test experience for developers. * Application stack agnostic. Developers can integrate Stripes into their existing application stacks. * Do a few things and do them extremely well. For the last 10 years, Stripes has been used as the basis of applications of all types worldwide. We encourage you to download Stripes, browse the documentation, try the samples, and see why Stripes is considered among the best, lightweight Java web frameworks. See http://www.stripesframework.org/ for more information. Latest Release v1.6 : https://github.com/StripesFramework/stripes/releases

Apache Wicket is a component based Java web application framework. It has found a new home at Apache: http://wicket.apache.org Please visit us there to discover new releases, find support and learn more about Apache Wicket.

The overall goal of the framework is to provide easy to use, configurable and business logic oriented development of web application, which is flexible and agile for future enhancements and base lining for other web application. Also with the framework, reusability and localization of multi-scope (e.g. multi-country) business logic is easy to implement and understand by the developers and production support. The framework only applies to web applications using Java 6 or later version. It will only use core functionalities of the Java API, external libraries like JDBC drivers should be provided by the users.

The AXEL framework extends XML and HTML, adding "xml actions" that perform tasks during page processing. Goto http://xmlactions.org for a full description of how it works. Actions can be as simple as inserting a page, to as complex as building query results from external data sources. The Axel Framework project consists of different components: * axel-actions (core framework) * axel-mapping (a mapping tool built on axel-actions) * axel-pager (a web page builder built on axel-actions) * axel-db (database actions for inserting, querying, updating) * axel-jar (builds a delivery jar file) * axel-web (builds a war file as a base for a web site that uses AXEL) Visit http://xmlactions.org for installation and setup instructions.

The Brill Framework allows React web applications to be built quickly using a "Low Code" approach. A Content Management System (CMS) supports editing of pages containing React components. The React components communicate with each other and the Server using a middleware that's based on WebSockets. With a "No Code" solution, there's always something you require that's not support. You spend ages bending the product to your requirements or pay the supplier to provide the components you need. The alternative is a "Full Code" solution using React. This involves a lot of coding and it's not always easy to update content without doing a release. There's the option of using a Headless CMS for the content and but that only increases the amount code required. The Brill Framework provides the best of both worlds. Quick building of the application using a CMS and a set of ready made components, with the ability to add your own React components and server side functionality.
