It's main goal is to provide frameworks and utility libraries to J2SE/J2EE developers.

The source forge website is available here.

xmlUtils

This project bundles a few services related to XML files;

• Parsing XML files

• Reading & writing XML files

• Handling auto (meaning; managed by implementing classes) serialization from/to XML

csvUtils

This project bundles a few services related to CSV files;

• Parsing CSV files

• Reading & writing CSV files

dataRepository

This project offers an abstract data tables framework.

It can create data tables based on multiple kind of support (databases, files, scripts, ...) and offer multiple layers of services;

• Accessor layer; accessing the data source

• Cache layer; defining precisily the caching behavior between the user and the data source

• Manager layer; defining high level behavior for the data (internationalization, ...)

Any layer of a data table can be defined and customized by home made components.

webFlow

This project offers a framework to handle a web site from a flow point of view.

It allows the developer to define the allowed behavior of the visitors by defining a set of states and transitions.

Also, it allows to link an object to each visitor in order to store any useful data.

Multiples services are available in the framework;

• Single point of entry; no matter what URL the visitor try to use, a servlet centralize all the accesses and checks that any operations the visitor might try to do is accessible to him in the state he is currenctly

• HTML form fields management; default values, list of values & and validation mechanisms are available

webLayout

This project offers a taglib in order to help a developer to apply a design to his web application's JSP pages;

• "bottom-to-top" organization; rather than having a layout file defining which elements it can include, it is the component page that defines from which parent it inherits and which elements it should contain

• tag based configuration; no more XML or any other configuration files is required, the tags are sufficient to handle the generation of the layout
