Waterken Server

Asynchronous messaging between event loops, such as used in AJAX, is a great model for building distributed applications. The asynchronous messaging allows an application to remain responsive in the face of network latency and event loops allow multiple activities to be pursued, without many of the dangers inherent in multi-threading. This computing model is made even better with the addition of promises, a kind of reference that can refer to the result of future computation, such as the response to an asynchronous message. For example, promises make it a lot easier to express an algorithm that sends additional asynchronous messages depending on the results of past messages. The Waterken server provides a platform for building such applications in Java and making them accessible to HTTP-based clients.

Aranea Web Framework

Aranea is an Open-Source Java MVC Web Framework that provides a common Object-Oriented approach to building the web applications, reusing GUI logic and extending the framework. It comes with out-of-the-box support for nested flows and database-backed query browsing. Additionally it serves as an integration platform, allowing free intermingling of arbitrary frameworks, components and applications.

Gracelets

Gracelets is principally a fusion of two main stream technologies, JSF 2.0 and Groovy. Gracelets is a Domain Specific Language (DSL) for JSF web application development.

Gracelets provides support for writing JSF views, using Groovy. Groovy Closures can optionally be used as an alternative to the Expression Language. Gracelets provides Groovy Bindings allowing you to simply reference your JSF contextual environment.

Waffle

Waffle is a Java web framework that makes the process of developing Java based web applications easier. It was built to support enterprise level web-based business applications, but with the least possible number of source lines to achieve that.

Waffle is different from the multitude of web frameworks that exist today, in that Waffle:

• has no mandatory XML configuration files (beyond a minimalist web.xml required by any J2EE-compliant webapp)
• is interoperable with best-of-breed UI templating technologies
• does not have a base controller class to extend or interface to implement
• has controller classes that can support multiple actions, each a single method rather than a sequence of initialiation/settter/execute methods
• has a small learning curve
