Kalia - web framework
This framework aim is to provide a simple and rapid way for building web tier of java applications.
Many concepts of this framework are taken from Tapestry. In Tapestry, as in other frameworks, you need to extend framework specific classes, i.e. pages. In contrary, a framework like JSF, does not demand you to do so, but, and this is a major drawback I think, uses special tags, jsp tags, that are very hard to work with for a designer, and even java developer. More than that, in a team where reponsabilities are clearly separated, a java developer should not deal with the design of html pages. It's an great weaste of time in my opinion. Still, if an java developer would have to do html&css, the things should be enough simple for him/her in order to achive good productivity.
Although Tapestry is a great framework, is complexity, and as with its 4.0 version, it's dependency on Hivemind ioc container, is a real drawback from desired simplicity. Wich, I belive, is possible to achive.
I believe that in matter of application development, particulary, web application, we should not stop for to much time to a certain level of simplicity and power, but should look foward for new ways to develop application faster and better ant to make our life, as developers, much easier.
