Hello Vincent, Check out Barracuda at http://barracuda.enhydra.org/
Barracuda uses XMLC ( http://xmlc.enhydra.org/ ) to do DOM manipulation to get the data where you need it in your document. Actually, it extends XMLC and provides another level of abstraction. You can use a templating system called BTemplate where you can add directives to your html tags. Unlike most templating system, after you are done doing your templating, you still have 100% standard HTML that will validate with any html validator such as http://validator.w3.org/ . You can even map ID's in your template to Directives stated in a separate file. Barracuda also provides a robust polymorphic Event model, a Component Model (so you don't have to write DOM code yourself), and is set very similar to Java Swing in the way its MVC works. It also supplies an easy way to do Localization and lots of other niceties. There are very few database specific utilities when using Barracuda. It is meant as a Presentation Framework and doesn't try to horn in on every area of application development like some other frameworks which may use their own database integration or use a non-standard templating system. All you need to do is get the data, put it in the model, and let Barracuda go to work placing your data into your template for output. See the documentation here: http://barracuda.enhydra.org/cvs_source/Barracuda/index_details.html Note that the current release is somewhat old, but a new release is imminent (within the next week or so) and it will include tons of bugfixes and enhancements to the current release. If you want to try out Barracuda right away, I suggest getting the latest cvs source. Unlike some other projects, Barracuda is a cinch to build. Just do "ant clean jars" (this assumes you have ant 1.4.1 or better installed with $ANT_HOME/bin in your system PATH). Let me know if you have any questions. I suggest that you sign up for the mailing list ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) as there is a rich developer community ready to help out.
