Web Framework Rife With Features


By Alex Handy
October 1, 2005 — 
Rife 1.0, an open-source full-stack Java Web application framework, has been declared ready for release by its developers.

“After four years of development and 70 releases, we finally consider Rife to be feature-complete,” said lead developer Geert Bevin. “The project has come a long way over the years, and the goals have been constantly re-evaluated against production projects and newly introduced technologies.”

Among the features included in Rife 1.0 are a bidirectional multiformat template engine that keeps templates designer-friendly and language-independent; a centralized metadata facility that keeps constraints consistent across forms, queries and variables; a content management framework; a JDBC abstraction layer; and a cron-like scheduler.

The Rife project placed a high emphasis on code reuse. One of the chief goals of the project was to create a framework in which DBAs, developers and content creators could each work independently and easily integrate their code into the final product with a minimum of hassle. The framework also allows developers to layer multiple applications on top of one another and build modular applications that can be reused as binary libraries.

Bevin claimed that Rife is now running on sites with 300,000 daily page views, is used for critical systems in a leading telephony company, and has scaled down to embedded usage in mobile phones.

Rife is available now at Www.Rifers.org and is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License along with a plug-in for X-develop. A plug-in for the Eclipse Web Tools Platform project is on the way.
