Free bean software for linux

pBeans project is a Object/Relational (O/R) database mapping layer. It is designed to be simple to use and automated.
The idea is that you save time and effort by simply focusing on writing Java classes, and not worrying about maintenance of matching SQL scripts, schema evolution, XML based schemas, or generating code. The pBeans framework takes care of persisting JavaBeans with little assistance from the developer.
Main features:
- Automatic Table Creation and Schema Evolution- Tables corresponding to JavaBean classes are created on demand. Field types are based, by default, on JavaBean compile-time types. Field type changes and new fields are detected. Manually changing tables (user-managed mode) is also supported.
- Based on Annotated JavaBeans- You define a getter and setter for each bean property. Persisent bean classes only need to be tagged with a @PersistentClass annotation.
- Transitive Persistence- If object A is persisted and it refers to Persistent object B, then object B is automatically persisted. If Persistent object C also refers to B, and C is also persisted, the record for object B in the database is not duplicated.
- Instance Consistency- If you retrieve an object from persistent storage that is already known to exist in main memory, you get a reference to the object in main memory. (Garbage collection is allowed to happen via weak references.)
- Near-Zero Configuration- There is no need to define schemas or anything of the sort in a language other than Java, and there are no code generation steps of any kind. No XML or SQL need to be written, except the necessary to create a database and grant user permissions. However, you can instruct pBeans to let you manage database modifications manually.
- Database features- Transactions and auto-increment IDs (MySQL only) are now supported.
- Flexibility- Via annotations users are allowed to define their own table and field names, the name of the primary key, whether fields are nullable, whether tables are user-managed (not automatically modified), table indexes, unique or otherwise, whether unused fields should be deleted, whether a field is nullable, whether it is renamed from another field (to prevent loss of data when a property is renamed), etc.
- Servlet support- A pBeans store may be easily configured using servlet context parameters (see ServletAccess.)

Generator is an command line application written in java that have the goal to make easy the construction of little applications that needs some database objects stuff.
Database Bean Generator isnt a replacement of complex object persistence solutions, like hibernate or TopLink but it covers a different target. The little java web applications that dont use sofisticated persistence options.
Generator invocation is simple, just type:
java -jar generator.jar -xml (config-file.xml)
where config-file is a xml config file with the definitions to connect to the database and generate the bean classes.
Main features:
- Generates classes to access via custom connection resources to database tables.
- Configuration files are in clear xml format and can be embedded or separate.
- Supports individual or global field updates.
- Supports custom set of Exceptions.
- Provides toXML function for each entity generated.
- Provides automatic generation of finders coonfigured in the xml configuration file.
- Provides some utility static methods via the BdUtils.java class generation.
- Generates an xml file with the database structure.
- Supports configuration of the methods that produces XML (String as CDATA, data as attributes or values, ...)
- Initial support for MySQL and Oracle (Oracle support is in initial stage at this moment).
- Provides an ant task for automatic integration builds.
- Supports transparent renaming of the generated class individual fields.
- Supports normal or CDATA output in individual fields.
- Supports utilization in all database methods with your own external connection.
- Preliminar support of a pluggable logging system (The goal is use log4j integration)
- Support for SEQUENCES in Oracle and AUTOINCREMENT in MySQL
- Support arbitrary raw code and imports from configuration file
- Correct treatment for NULL values of the fields in the generated class
Enhancements:
- Optionally, you may include the extra jars to get JSON support.
- JSON output for finders and generic JSON output for general have been added.

Sporniket Web Site System project is a set of PHP scripts that allow you to build and manage a Web site.
Two modules are available: Mini File Commander, a Web interface to manage files, and Cabbage, a system to quickly build a Website with organised content without using a database.
Enhancements:
- Fixed : the previous archive was empty !

jZeno is a meta-project that integrates a collection of java open source libraries, to form a ready-to-use web development environment. jZeno is made to allow people to create web applications by using pure java development as much as possible. The main architectural goal of Largely reducing the need to know technologies like javascript, HTML, CSS, database specific SQL, and tons of different APIs.
Limiting the amount of APIs, technologies and programming styles allows developers to learn a smaller set of skills much deeper. We think this set of skills should be : a thorough understanding of java, OO development and design patterns.
We decided to create jZeno after growing more and more frustrated with JSP and Struts over the years. We hoped JSF would improve things but have come to the conclusion that it is mainly a commercially-driven API that does not really make development life any easier. So we started looking further and came across Echo, a toolkit for developing web applications in pure java. In a nutshell Echo provides you with an implementation of the Swing API for developing web applications. We have created an optimized version of the Echo toolkit to allow partial, and highly compressed updates of web pages, providing AJAX like performance (available in the upcoming 0.9 release).
While Echo provides an easy way of creating the presentation layer of a web application, some glue was still missing to turn it into a rapid development platform. So we decided to add a set of easy to use dynamic components, that provide an easy way to do data-binding, validation, event handling and such. Many useful components are also provided by the EchoPoint library, a collection of rich Echo components.
Besides the presentation layer jZeno also provides a number of services for facilitating the creation of business facades. This environment is similar to stateless session beans in the EJB specification, but witout the overhead of EJBs. These services include transaction management, dead-lock detection and retrying, performance monitoring, security checking, etc...
jZeno also uses Hibernate for O/R mapping inside you business facades. Besides these major functions jZeno contains out-of-the-box solutions for a host of other features any real-life web application needs. This inluces things like genrating reports in a pdf,xls,rtf and other formats (through JasperReports). It also includes live performance monitoring (JAMon) and heap monitoring of your application in its production environment, among other features...
jZeno applications have a traditional layered architecture. The tradidional 3 tiers are seperated : the presentation tier, the business tier and the domain model. The first tier is created by using the jZeno dynamic components and the lower level Echo and EchoPoint components. The business tier contains support for running your business logic, decorated with a stack of aspects that together create an environment very similar to stateless session beans (but with less requirements and configuration overhead). The domain model tier is basically the O/R mapping provided by Hibernate. jZeno provides a tightly integrated environment for all these tiers. In the future support for deploying on an EJB container may be added if required.
Enhancements:
- A bug in errormessagescomponent (warnings) has been fixed.
- Validation has been fixed to pre-render/rebind invisible pages on DynaTables before validation.
- The TTL for DNS caching has been set to a maximum of 5 minutes.
- SessionSyncFilter will always serialize unless using an image/script service.
- A McKoi startup bug when using hibernate annotations has been fixed.
- Processing of radio buttons with action listeners has been fixed.
- BigDecimalViewer and ComponentUI have been added for consistency.
- A bug in the NewsTicker component has been fixed.

CSVObjects is a free and open sourced Java based framework for transparently parsing and unmarshalling Comma Separated Value (CSV) files and records into Plain Old Java Objects without the need to code the parsing logic manually.

Instead, the parsing library relies on declarative mapping of CSV fields and data types to Java Bean attributes, via a mapping XML file. This is similar to the manner in which Hibernate provides relational table mapping for Java Beans.

The Framework is built upon Stephen Ostermillers excellent CSV reader/parser classes.

Also, the framework provides convenience Xdoclet support for specifying the CSV to Java mapping in the Java source code itself by using Javadoc markup, thereby reducing the burden on the developer to manually maintain separate configuration files.

Installation:

If you have downloaded the binary file release, then you need to include the
CSVObjects- .jar file in your projects library or classpath, ensure that the dependency libraries are also present in the classpath, and thats it!

avalon-harvest provides an Avalon-based integration package.
Harvest is a very simple Java-based program to asynchronously copy data from one location to another.
The data can be anything that can be represented as a Java bean, for example, files or database records.
Data can be anything, including files, database records, data available from networks, JMS messages, or whatever you can imagine and represent as java bean.
Main features:
- Assynchronious system integration, where no other solution exists.
- Data replication between databases
- Fetching data from unusable datasources (html pages, documents, other files) into database (or any kind of device capable of storing data)
- Any other scenarios where you may need assynchronious copy of data.

Text::Starfish.pm and starfish is a Perl-based System for Text-Embedded Programming and Preprocessing.

SYNOPSIS

starfish [ -o=outputfile ] [ -e=initialcode ] [ -replace ] [ -mode=mode ] file...
where files usually contain some Perl code, delimited by < ? and ! >. To produce output to be inserted into the file, use variable $O or function echo.

(The documentation is probably not up to date.)

Starfish is a system for Perl-based text-embedded programming and preprocessing, which relies on a unifying regular expression rewriting methodology. If you know Perl and php, you probably know the basic idea: embed Perl code inside the text, execute it is some way, and interleave the output with the text. Very similar projects exist and some of them are listed in "SEE ALSO". Starfish is, however, unique in several ways. One important difference between starfish and similar programs (e.g. php) is that the output does not necessarily replace the code, but it follows the code by default. It is attempted with Starfish to provide a universal text-embedded programming language, which can be used with different types of textual files.

There are two files in this package: a module (Starfish.pm) and a small script (starfish) that provides a command-line interface to the module. The options for the script are described in subsection ""starfish_cmd list of file names and options"".

The earlier name of this module was SLePerl (Something Like ePerl), but it was changed it to starfish -- sounds better and easier to type. One option was `oyster, but some people are thinking about using it for Perl beans, and there is a (yet another) Perl module for embedded Perl Text::Oyster, so it was not used.
The idea with the `starfish name is: the Perl code is embedded into a text, so the text is equivalent to a shellfish containing pearls. A starfish comes by and eats the shellfish... Unlike a natural starfish, this starfish is interested in pearls and does not normally touch most of the surrounding meat.
