Beehive 1.0 is a Component Toolkit for J2EE and Struts

Oct. 7, 2005 11:00 AM

The Apache Software Foundation has announced the release of Beehive 1.0, component toolkit for J2EE and Struts. The Beehive goal is to make J2EE programming easier by building a simple object model on J2EE and Struts. Using the new JSR-175 annotations, Beehive reduces the coding necessary for J2EE.

The initial Beehive project has three pieces: NetUI, an annotation-driven web application programming framework; Controls: A lightweight, metadata-driven component framework; and Web Service Metadata (WSM): An implementation of JSR 181 which standardizes a simplified, annotation-driven model for building Java web services.

Meanwhile, Beehive 2.0 planning is in progress, and Apache has called for ideas on features or capabilities for this next version.
