What is EasyWeb4J?

EasyWeb4J is an end-to-end stack for Java web application development. Its design is inspired by Ruby on Rails. It provides seamless integration with Hibernate and JPA for ORM and automatically manages transactions.

EasyWeb4J uses open-session-in-view pattern with 2 transactions per request to cleanly handle lazy initializations in Hibernate without the application developer having to worry about it.

Some of the benefits EasyWeb4J offers are,

• Minimal XML configuration (needed only for Servlet and Hibernate/JPA configuration).
• Out of the box support for pretty URLs.
• Does not require using custom tags where standard HTML elements work just fine. So HTML from designers can be used directly with very little modification.
• Simple and yet very effective layout system.
• Handles transactions and lazy initializations without the developer having to worry about them.
