SoybeanMilk is a simple, friendly, and zero-invasive Java MVC framework:
- It has few learning costs, you only need to know JSP and Servlet technology.
- It does not make you complying with any coding pattern.
- It can have zero appearance in your codes.
Using it, you can make any Java method to be a Web application by writing a few XML codes.
And also it:
- supports RESTful.
- supplies a powerful and extensible built-in converter which can automatically convert request parameters to complex JavaBean object.
- can be easily integrated with Spring or Velocity or some other frameworks.
It may be a good choice if you are a web developer and feeling a little hate with the develop mode of some framework.
And more, it can not only be used in web development but also in desktop development.
History
-
1.0-b5 (2012-06-03)
- <file> tag in <includes> tag is renamed to <location>
- <executables> tag can present more than once in a file scope
- Add "type" attribute for <arg> tag, for explicitly specify the argument type
- The init parameter "external-resolver-factory-key" of DispatchServlet is renamed to "external-resolver-object-factory"
- Rewrite all basic String converters, the framework now is not dependent on common-beanutils library
- Refactor Invoke and some relative classes, for dynamically executing object method which is stored in current ObjectSource
- Refactor some exception logic, add ArgPrepareExecuteException and ParamIllegalException class, for tracking illegal request parameters more easily
- Refactor WebObjectSource class to be WebObjectSource interface class and DefaultWebObjectSource implementation class, and improve the processing of its keyword, making the scope portion is not necessary
- Rewrite WebGenericConverter class, for very complex object converting support, and polymorphic converting of Map
-
1.0-b4 (2011-10-31)
- Improve generic type support, the framework now can automatically convert request parameters to generic type arguments in Invoke method
- Add "breaker" attribute for <invoke> tag, for controlling the executing of Invoke method
- A new class ParamConvertException has been added, for tracking illegal request parameters
- A new tag <type-target-handler> has been added, for customizing action's target handler
- BUG fix : DefaultGenericConverter 's getProperty method can not accept null input
-
1.0-b3 (2011-03-15)
- Add "prefix" attribute for <executables> tag, for easy module configuration.
- Add an "objectSource" keyword for <arg> tag value, for getting the WebObjectSource object itself.
- Update <target> tag configuration, cancelling the limitation of the type attribute value.
- Update <resolver> tag's id attribute, <action> and <invoke> tag's name attribute, allowing to be duplicate. This makes one function can be replaced.
