I recently read this article:

A new standardization effort has been started within the Java

Community Process for the "creation of a GUI Component Architecture

for Java Server applications". According to the specification, it aims

to unify efforts already undertaken in different independent projects,

such as Jakarta Struts (there are scores of others).

From the JSR homepage:

The following 8 design goals represent the

focus of this proposal:

1.Create a standard GUI component framework which can be leveraged by

development tools to make it easier for tool users to both create high

quality GUIs and manage the GUI's connections to application behavior.

2.Define a set of simple lightweight Java base classes for GUI

components, component state, and input events. These classes will

address GUI lifecycle issues, notably managing a component's

persistent state for the lifetime of its page.

3.Provide a set of common GUI components, including the standard HTML

form input elements. These components will be derived from the simple

set of base classes(outlined in #1) that can be used to define new

components.

4.Provide a JavaBeans model for dispatching events from client-side

GUI controls to server-side application behavior.

5.Define APIs for input validation, including support for client-side

validation.

6.Specify a model for internationalization and localization of the

GUI.

7.Automatic generation of appropriate output for the target client,

taking into account all available client configuration data, such as

browser version, etc.

8.Automatic Generation of output containing required hooks for

supporting accessibility, as defined by WAI.

"This specification defines an

architecture and APIs which simplify the creation and maintenance of

Java Server application GUIs."

HOW DOES THIS EFFECT JATO?
