Bringing Back the Fun Sling is intended to bring back the fun to Java developers and make the life of a web developer easier. It deals with the important task of bringing your content into the web and providing a plattform to manage/update the content. Underneath the covers Sling makes use of a Java Content Repository (such as Apache Jackrabbit).
Sling is built into OSGi bundles and therefore benefits from all advantages of OSGi. On the development side a scripting layer (using Apache BSF) allows to use any scripting language with Sling (of course you can use plain old Java, too). And on top of this, Sling helps in developing an application in a RESTful way. As the first web framework dedicated to JSR-170 Java Content Repositories, Sling makes it very simple to implement simple applications, while providing an enterprise-level framework for more complex applications. Apache Sling currently comes in four flavors: - A standalone application (a jar containing everything to get started with Sling) - A web application (just drop this into your favorite web container) - The full source package (interested in reading the source?) - Maven Artifacts (available through the Apache Incubator Repository) For more information, please visit the Apache Sling web site at http://incubator.apache.org/sling. or go directly to the download site at http://incubator.apache.org/sling/site/downloads.cgi The Apache Sling Community -- Carsten Ziegeler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Andreas Hartmann, CTO BeCompany GmbH http://www.becompany.ch Tel.: +41 (0) 43 818 57 01 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
