Free persistence framework software for linux

SMS Framework is an Objective C framework for decoding SMS messages in PDU format to objects.
It is easily usable in Cocoa and GNUstep environments, and it reduces developer responsibility for decoding messages to extracting the raw messages from the phone.
The XCode project file contains three targets: one system wide framework, one framework to include in applications, and a small application for testing the framework.
Enhancements:
- Fixes two small bugs in decoding that seem to affect international users.
- The bugs became apparent after OS X 10.4.5 appeared.

PIC USB Framework is a USB application framework dedicated to Linux (on the host side) and to the PIC 18F4550 family of microcontrollers (on the device side).
PUF includes: a bootloader that can flash the PIC application through the USB, a PIC demo and its corresponding application on the host side, and docker, the host-side flash programming utility.
The PUF also contains gputils and sdcc as cross-building tools, and odyssey 0.4vasco as a parallel port PIC programmer.
Enhancements:
- sdcc optimization flags are now switched on by default.
- A component library (including a console mechanism and a small real time scheduler) has been added to help building user applications.
- Tools have been upgraded to automake 1.9.6, autoconf 2.59d, sdcc snapshot 4482, odyssey 0.5, and gputils 0.13.4.
- The applications size has been optimized.

Aranea is an Open Source Java Hierarchical Model-View-Controller Web Framework that provides a common simple approach to building the web application components, reusing custom or general GUI logic and extending the framework.
The framework enforces programming using Object-Oriented techniques with POJOs and provides a JSP tag library that facilitates programming web GUIs without writing HTML.
Main features:
- Small core. Aranea core consists of ca. 10 interfaces, some conventions concerning how to use them and a number of default or base implementations.
- Component-oriented. In Aranea everything is a component and everything is reusable, the framework itself is assembled from a number of components with specific responsibilities. The framework itself is assembled from a number of components with specific responsibilities and programmer also writes the code in terms of components. The components have very simple interface which has about 4-6 methods.
- Event-driven. The whole programming model is based on components reacting to events generated by the user. One typically doesnt have to deal with request or determine what button was pressed since the event handler just calls the appropriate listener or method.
- Plain Old Java. The components in Aranea are pure Java objects supporting polymorphism, inheritance and encapsulation.
- Explicit state management. Aranea component fields are persistent and framework will automatically determine component lifecycle without limiting to any scopes.
- Powerful navigation. Aranea out-of-the-box supports the so called flows and flow nesting, which allows to create nested processes that preserve the previous process state and restore it when finished.
- Type safe. Since there is no playing around with session attributes and no XML mappings the Java compiler is able to verify that all types and classes match and navigating between components is as easy as holding Ctrl and clicking.
- Secure. Since components are created explicitly when needed and removed when they are needed no more there is no need to protect the controller URLs with roles or privileges.
- Testable. Testing pure Java is as easy as it sounds, and there is no need for any J2EE containers. And since Aranea can be used with Dependency Injection containers like Spring, it makes testing even easier.
- AJAX-ready. Aranea supports natively both partial page updates and AJAX-enabled components like autocompletion search boxes. Aranea can also be used as a controller for a purely AJAX application.
Enhancements:
- Some bugfixes and additions were made to BeanFormWidget.
- TcdAndTldMerger is now present in aranea.jar and does not need to be compiled separately.

SA Web Framework project is a complete PHP application framework, based on the Front Controller Pattern.
SA stands for SkyApp? and is the framework which we developed and which we are using here at Skyweb.
SA is open source and released under LGPL license which means you can use it for free.
SA relies heavily on PEAR which gives us access to some nice features like mime mail handling, independent database abstraction layer, destructors, database session storing and many more.
SA was developed and tested using PHP 4.4.0.
Enhancements:
- The whole application stack has been rewritten in order to take advantage of the PHP5 object model.
- Some new classes and interfaces were introduced and the existing ones were completely rewritten.
- A new Page handling concept was implemented.
- The default page class now extends Smarty.

WebWork MVC Framework is a Java pull HMVC Web application framework, designed for creating dynamic websites using minimal effort and maximum flexibility.
It supports multiple views, allowing you to switch between different view technologies, including HTML, Swing, PDF, XSLT, and Velocity, without changing the logic producing the data.
It includes a powerful expression language for navigating its object stack, as well as a small but complete tag library. WebWork MVC Framework supports internationalization, error handling, chaining actions, validation, command driven actions, redirection and type conversions.
Enhancements:
- Full support for Java 5 Annotations and Generics.
- Rich AJAX support using DWR and Dojo.
- A new QuickStart tool makes development easier.
- Client side validation using AJAX or plain JavaScript.
- Built in support for Continuations.
- A rich UI template framework.
- Native support for Spring and Pico IOC containers.
- More intelligent error reporting.
- Developer Mode makes building Web applications easier with improved error reporting.
- A simplified tag syntax.
- An advanced data binding framework that works with any object, including domain objects.

Simple persistence for Java is an object/relation mapping framework for Java. It is designed to be easy to use.
There are no XML files to write, no tables to create, no IDs to generate, and no primary keys to fiddle with; just point it to the database, check the API documentation for three basic methods, and code away.
Simple persistence for Java supports transactions, has its own simple query language (very similar to SQL), and can handle object references, lists, and maps.
You may ask: Why another O/R mapping library? Well.. Ive searched the net for a suitable O/R tool for a long time now, also tried a few in live projects, but each time, at the end of the project, I had always had a few thoughts to simplify the database interaction code. Ive started with EJB around 2000. Now, I think everyone who used EJBs also at least once wondered why saveing a friggin object requires a separate server installation, the extensive knowledge of a 200+ page documentation, generating 3 classes/interfaces per object, installing stubs, rmi, and other things I dont even want to know about. Lets just skip this chapter of my life directly to my last experience with an O/R library: pbeans. This library is generally good, I can recommend it for those, who want a stable O/R mapping tool, but it was not the one for me. I found a few points I couldnt get over:
- Save and insert should be one method. I usually dont care if an object is inserted or saved phisically, as long as its saved.
- It should handle Lists and Maps. Well, "Lists should be enough for everybody", but sometimes Maps are handy too. Lists are used very often, I think it should be handled automatically.
- The query code is too difficult, and at the same time does not offer enough features.
- The code you have to write wont be "pretty". It requires classes to be parameters, at least for queries, and I cant read the query itself.
- The Id handling is not transparent.
Enhancements:
- A major scalability feature has been added: the library is now capable of working in a distributed environment, such as load-balanced Web server clusters.
- All the library nodes connected to the same database will form a self-regulating, self-organizing, failure-tolerant network to manage exclusive resources (such as locks, etc).
- The documentation and site were updated accordingly.

EmanonPHP Framework is a framework developed in PHP which uses a .NET-like convention for calling classes.
