WebComp 0.10

WebComp is an experiment on how to compose and configure web-sites from various existing components (static HTML, Java Servlets, Java server pages and other), by scripting. It includes a scripting language, a component model/framework and a set of basic pluggable components to use with it.
The core of the WebComp implementation is a Java servlet that reads scripts and generates web-pages from them, using components referenced in the scripts.
Main features:
- Supports a basic pluggable component type (Functions) which are easily implemented as Java classes and instantiated and configured by scripts, using reflection techniques and functional programming concepts.
- Supports a high level of separation of concerns (aspect oriented design) by allowing flexible chaining of components to handle requests and responses. This leads to more reusable components.
- Supports easy re-use of website designs and components by scripting inheritance.
- Basic function-library supports automatic generation of menus from lists of components given in scripts, filtering of static HTML documents, nice framing of content, stylesheets, layout, composing etc.
- Can generate valid HTML (if components do).
