Our own. But I understand Struts apache project has the same basic deal (as 
also confirmed by Matt Sergeant's post). And from looking at Struts I think 
their model is even simpler than the model we have in our Java toolkit. 
This is why I am quite frightened of all these additions to a widget API in 
Perl when I know it's been accomplished so simply as a framework in Java.
