Stripes (framework)
Stripes is an open source web application framework based on the model–view–controller (MVC) pattern. It aims to be a lighter weight framework than Struts by using Java technologies such as annotations and generics that were introduced in Java 1.5, to achieve "convention over configuration". This emphasizes the idea that a set of simple conventions used throughout the framework reduce configuration overhead. In practice, this means that Stripe applications barely need any configuration files, thus reducing development and maintenance work. It has been dormant since 2016.

- HelloAction.java
import net.sourceforge.stripes.action.ActionBean;
import net.sourceforge.stripes.action.ActionBeanContext;
import net.sourceforge.stripes.action.DefaultHandler;
import net.sourceforge.stripes.action.ForwardResolution;
import net.sourceforge.stripes.action.Resolution;
import net.sourceforge.stripes.action.UrlBinding;
@UrlBinding("/hello-{name=}.html")
public class HelloAction implements ActionBean {
private ActionBeanContext context;
private String name;
public ActionBeanContext getContext() {
return context;
}
public void setContext(ActionBeanContext context) {
this.context = context;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
@DefaultHandler
public Resolution view() {
return new ForwardResolution(“/WEB-INF/HelloWorld.jsp”);
}
}
- HelloWorld.jsp
<html><body>
