The framework documentation is written for active web developers and assumes a working knowledge about how Java web applications are built. For more about the underlying nuts and bolts, see the Key Technologies Primer.

Several tutorials are available to help you get started with the framework, from all-purpose "soup to nuts" tutorials to specialty tutorials on portlets and database access.

Speciality

Examples

Several example applications are bundled with the framework, as ready-to-deploy WARs.

Blank An "empty" application that you can use as the starting point for your own projects.
Showcase A sampling of common (and not so common) use cases.
MailReader A simple application that demonstrates best practices.
Portlet An application demonstrating portlet support
Other Examples Simple examples and links to "powered by" sites

For the complete source code to the applications, see the source code distribution.
