OpenXava 4.6.1: Rapid Java Web Development

Jan. 10, 2013 - PRLog -- OpenXava is an open source framework for rapid development of business applications using Java. It is easy to learn and one can have an application up in no time. At the same time, OpenXava is extensible, customizable and the application code is structured in a very pure object oriented way, allowing you to develop arbitrarily complex applications.

The OpenXava approach for rapid development differs from those that use visual environments (like Visual Basic or Delphi) or scripting (like PHP). Instead, OpenXava uses a model-driven development approach, where the core of your application are Java classes that model your problem. This means you can stay productive while still maintaining a high level of encapsulation.

OpenXava 4.6.1 is a maintenance version with the next fixes:
- New IWithMessage to be implemented by validators to get the messages from @Required, @PropertyValidator and @EntityValidator.
