Waffle is a Java Web framework that allows for pojo-based actions. Dependency injection support is built in. Waffle does NOT have a proprietary templating language nor does it require any XML configuration files. Waffle apps are easy to write and test. We - the developers of Waffle (http://waffle.sf.net) and VRaptor (http://vraptor.org) - would like to join forces and first port Waffle to Codehaus (renaming it to use org.codehaus.waffle package) and gradually port features from VRaptor in order to create a larger and more consolidated community around a lean web application framework which honours the least-common-denominator principle. We greatly appreciate the Haus community and will abide by the Haus Manifesto. We hope that the new effort will further consolidate the already strong Haus branding as an incubator of high-quality commercially-friendly Java-based libraries.
