OpenXava 2.2.1 / 3.0 Beta 1

OpenXava is a framework to develop easily business applications with XML and Java.

OpenXavas virtue resides in the fact that the heart of our applications is XML instead of Java.

No Java classes, no XML files for mapping objects, no design of JSP or JSF pages, simply no more.

OpenXava generates for you a complete J2EE application (with CMP EJB or Hibernate for persistence) like this, and with a suitable User Interface for manage your Teachers.

The resulting application allows you make CRUD operations, searching, filtering, ordering, generating reports in PDF format, exporting to Excel, etc.

In spite of its rapid development features, OpenXava is flexible enough to allow you to put your custom code in any part of the application.

With only simple XMLs and Java code in JavaBean format (really reusable Java classes) you can construct any J2EE business application in a very productive way. In fact, a lot of critical business application, now in production, have been developed with OpenXava.

In general, change mode actions are not available after view navigation, and many other features have been added.
