JWt is a Java library for developing web applications. It provides a pure Java component-driven approach to building web applications, and renders either using Ajax or plain HTML.
Unlike JSF, there is no concept of a page and no split between page "views" and reusable "components", making reuse unpractical. Instead, everything is a widget that can be resued in other widgets.
For more information, see the homepage.
The library requires a Servlet 2.5 or 3.0 container. When deployed in a servlet 3.0 container, it is able to use asynchronous I/O functionality to improve scalability when using server push features.
If you want to use the PDF rendering support (the WPdfImage and WPdfRenderer classes), then you also need to add PdfJet[http://pdfjet.com/] to your project.
It can be as simple as:
ant The homepage contains various examples.
The ant build file has a separate target to generate maven pom files:
ant mvn To install the two artifacts in your local repository, do:
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=dist/jwt-3.3.2.jar -DpomFile=jwt-3.3.2.pom mvn install:install-file -Dfile=dist/jwt-auth-3.3.2.jar -DpomFile=jwt-auth-3.3.2.pom The corresponding dependency blocks are:
