We just released the RC1 of a new version of our open source project.
If you want to explore the use of Javascript on the *server-side* for a
change, this is an ideal time
...I would really appreciate some
feedback from "newcomers".
Helma is an open source web application framework for fast and
efficient scripting and serving of your websites and Internet
applications.
Helma is written in Java and employs Javascript for its server-side
scripting environment, removing the need for compilation cycles and
reducing development costs while giving you instant access to leverage
the whole wealth of Java libraries out there.
Helma pioneered the simple and codeless mapping of application objects
to database tables, which has only recently come into vogue with other
web frameworks. In addition, an embedded object-oriented database
performs automatic data persistence of unmapped objects.
New features in Helma 1.5 include a flexible new way to load multiple
code repositories, many low-level improvements and features such as
updateable collections, additional web-based development tools that can
run inside your applications and complement existing external debugging
and database management tools, and a library of Javascript prototypes
and methods that extend the Java based core of Helma.
You can download it here and take it for a spin:
http://helma.org/download/
We have also put together a welcome application that will provide you
with a quick introduction:
http://welcome.mocha.ch/
This web app is also what will run on your local system after you
download and install Helma 1.5.
