Since this post is addressed to Spanish speaking people, I will write it in Spanish. But in short, now you’ll notice that a flag icon is on the top right corner of the website, well, now there is a Spanish version of the site.

Lo prometido es deuda, y he traducido las páginas que hay hasta ahora al español para todos aquellos que no se defiendan con el inglés. Como explico en la página de comunidad, el idioma de la lista de correo y del grupo de discusión de Google es el inglés, pero sois libres de preguntar y escribir en Español si lo deseáis. Si por lo que fuese la comunidad hispana fuese grande, ya me encargaría de crear una lista y/o grupo para tratar los temas en Español.... read more

You have a new site with some documentation that will guide you in order to use this fantastic REST framework.

http://serfj.sourceforge.net

I have to add more documentation, but for now it's enough to learn how to use SerfJ.

A new release is out, it's now on some stable projects, has a lot of new features, and most important, we have a new website where you can find some documentation and a guide about how to use this fantastic framework.

The new site will be ready in one day or two. New features:

*  Defect #5: Setting off suffix aliases does controller finder or serializer finder to not work
* Feature #1: Serializers to answer request in customized formats
* Feature #2: Let the developer choose how an action must answer a request
* Feature #3: Forward to a page directly
* Feature #6: Annotations to mark controller methods as GET, POST, PUT or DELETE
* Feature #7: Get request's params
* Feature #8: Add objects to requests
* Feature #9: Client to make REST request
* Patch #4: Path for default serializers configurable... [read more](/p/serfj/news/2010/07/030-stable-release-is-out/)

New release is almost here. The framework has a lot of changes since previous 0.2.0 version, many bug fixes that didn't get it work properly, and several new features that will allow developers to have more powerful REST controllers.
Before 0.3.0 is released I have to finish the new documentation and a tutorial to show how to use this simple framework.

For people interested in source code, now I have 'mavenized' the project, so it's easier to build it.... read more

One day after the 0.2.0 release (https://sourceforge.net/projects/serfj/files/latest) I'm able to announce a new website with features like forums, ticket tracking, news, roadmap, files download, etc...

You can visit us at: http://serfj.elpaso-software.com.

After a lot of work to refine the code and to improve the features the next release is finished. But the most important thing is that I've written a manual for the framework. Don't be afraid, it's only a page in HTML format where you'll be able to know how it works and how to use it.
This new release is distributed in a single .ZIP file where you can find the source code, the jar with the classes, manual and dependency libraries.... read more

First version of the framework. Compiled with JSDK 1.6.0_13 & JavaEE 5.

Now I'm working on a web sample application, and the documentation and tutorial to learn how to use the library. Anyway it's very easy, all you need is to configure your web application to use com.elpaso.serfj.RestServlet for REST request... Well, probably you'll need some tips, and I'm working on it now!

Hello, tiday I've noticed the project is alive, I've never received an email from SF confirming the project approval, so finally I can submit any code.
