The Little Portal Gizmo is a (hopefully lean) Java web application container based on the Eclipse plug-in infrastructure and using the Apache HttpComponents HTTP protocol implementation.
Albeit still a tad experimental, it can already be used to develop Java web applications with it. Have a look at <http://lipog.sourceforge.net>.
Some ideas behind it:
- be able to serve static content
- automatic decoding of parameters in HTTP PUT and GET requests
- session handling
- separation of business logic and presentation layer
- easy integration of generators for different response output formats (JSON, HTML, etc.)
- easy integration of different template engines
Cheers,
Joerg
