VRaptor 2 is a Web-based MVC and IOC framework
based on many frameworks and ideas (Seam, Stripes,
Webwork, Hibernate Annotations, etc). It makes
full use of Java 5 Annotations. It favors
convention over configuration, because
configuration in XML/properties/annotations is
always easy to make mistakes and repetitive (aka
copy and paste in many places). This framework
uses a more imperative approach, instead of having
many XML files to configure lifecycle and other
properties. Most of the settings go inside plain
Java objects (POJO), so the team knows exactly
what is going on and where.
