RIFE
RIFE is a content management framework designed for rapid web application development in Java, without using J2EE.
RIFE's design blends together in a consistent component object model two approaches, request-based and component-based. Through a centralized site structure (web engine), an application can be split up into reusable binary modules that can be integrated into other projects.
