WEB4J Java Web Application Framework

Another simple web framework. According to official website the primary design goal of WEB4J is to always exercise deep compassion for you, the application programmer, to make your tasks as simple, natural, and as effective as possible. The framework should take on as much pain as possible, so that, in the end, you experience as little pain as possible.


The whole point of WEB4J is to give those who use it a deep feeling of simplicity, clarity, and elegance. That feeling is the ultimate goal of WEB4J, and nothing else. This is an esthetic goal, not a technical one.

The important things about WEB4J are :

1. it's a full-stack Java web application framework
   
2. it's small, and has a philosophy of deep simplicity and minimalism
   
3. it can boost your productivity by 300% - 400% over other tools
   
4. it's not free, it's not open source, and it has nothing to do with Rich Internet Apps

6. it lets you implement forms with plain HTML
   
7. it has no custom tags for form controls
