Infoblazer LLC. is pleased to release the XX Framework under the LGPL open source license. Version 1.1 is available for immediate download.
The XX framework is a configurable, XML/XSL-centric implementation of the MVC development paradigm.
The primary goal of the XX Framework is to handle typical application CRUD (create, retrieve, update, delete) with little or no Java programming. Instead of telling the application how to retrieve and how to display the data, we configure what to retrieve (through XML) and what to display (through XSLT).
This approach generally leads to a simpler and more elegant solution than a purely procedural approach. Where the applications needs more than simple CRUD, additional business logic can be easily incorporated into the process. Some additional features of the framework are configurable data caching, thread pooling, and web service integration.
Some benefits of the framework are:

XX Roadmap update
Version 1.5 will be out this summer. This release will contain numerous new feature and enhancements, including application generation. 1.5 will not be backward compatible with earlier version of XX, but upgrades shouldn't be too hard.
Version 2.0 will be a port of the 1.5 features to Spring MVC framework. This change is still tentative at this time.
I'll be posting more frequent updates on the blog at JRoller
