APACHE BEEHIVE
 

  Welcome to Beehive
  ------------------

  Apache Beehive is an effort undergoing incubation at the
  Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Incubator
  project. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects
  until a further review indicates that the infrastructure,
  communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a
  manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While
  incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the
  completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the
  project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF. 


  What is Beehive?
  -----------
  
  The goal of Beehive is to make J2EE programming easier by using JSR-175 metadata annotations
  to simplify the most complex J2EE coding tasks. Beehive is divided into three
  sub-projects:

     Page Flows -- Page Flows are built on top of Struts. The JSR-175 programming model
                   allows for automatic updating of Struts configuration files as well as
                   easy tooling inside of IDEs.

     Controls -- Controls are a framework for building lightweight J2EE components.

     Web Services -- The web services project implements JSR-181, a metadata annotation
                     driven programming model for web services.
