Weaver Release Announcement (XML Programmed Servlet Controller Component)

[Paul Harvey <Pa...@oldlight.com>]

Weaver is a pure-Java, XML programmed Controller component for 
developing Model View Controller (MVC) structured, servlet based, Web 
applications.

Weaver takes a rather different approach to struts.  Weaver exploits 
your existing knowledge of the JSP Expression Language (EL) and of JSTL 
via a consistent XML tag set.

The main features of Weaver include:

     * Programmed via a simple but powerful XML syntax whose elements 
are modeled after those provided by JSTL.
     * Support for an Expression Language (EL) syntax that is identical 
to that of JSP 2.0.
     * Easily extensible XML tag vocabulary.
     * Support for JSPs and for other View technologies.
     * Model functionality is easily added via the implementation of a 
simple Java interface.
     * Provision for multiple cooperating applications.
     * Transparent support for authentication.
     * Provides a management console to monitor and to configure running 
applications.
     * Runs in any suitable servlet container.
     * Automatic application reloading for rapid development.
     * It's Fast!
