The Apache Software Foundation has announced the release of Beehive 1.0, component toolkit for J2EE and Struts. The Beehive goal is to make J2EE programming easier by building a simple object model on J2EE and Struts. Using the new JSR-175 annotations, Beehive reduces the coding necessary for J2EE.
The initial Beehive project has three pieces: NetUI, an annotation-driven web application programming framework; Controls: A lightweight, metadata-driven component framework; and Web Service Metadata (WSM): An implementation of JSR 181 which standardizes a simplified, annotation-driven model for building Java web services.
Meanwhile, Beehive 2.0 planning is in progress, and Apache has called for ideas on features or capabilities for this next version.
