(German Article) Expresso ist ein auf Struts basierendes Web-Framework, dass durch seine verschiedenen, leicht erweiterbaren Komponenten Entwicklern eine Grundlagenentwicklung eines jeden Projektes vorwegnimmt und so das Augenmerk auf die eigentliche Implementierung lenken lässt.
Expresso is a free open-source framework that provides reusable Java development infrastructure. For Java developers who are just beyond the beginner stage, Expresso offers a swift route to productivity.
There are leaders and innovators. And there are followers. The first annual SD Times 100 recognizes the leaders and innovators of the software development industry. Jcorporate Ltd. was recognized as through Expresso, it polishes Apache’s Struts MVC framework.
In this article, we will survey the various Java Web development frameworks that are popular today and then take an in-depth look into the JavaServer Faces (JSF) technology.
As companies continue to undertake e-business projects, the demand for custom application development is surging. J2EE applications are complex, and building them from scratch each time is costly, requires highly skilled developers and architects, involves inherently risky development, takes longer to get to market, and results in inconsistent applications. The need for a J2EE framework is obvious.
A new workflow engine is one of the more than 50 features added to the Expresso Java development framework in version 5.0, according to Jcorporate Ltd. co-founder and chief operating officer Sandra Cann.
The Expresso 5.0 release boasts the usual items that one has come to expect in an open source project: many bug fixes, and a plethora of performance improvements. There are several more areas of Expresso that a programmer should be aware of to maximize the benefits of this framework. The goal of this article is to provide programmers with an idea of what's changed in Expresso 5.0 and what's new and exciting in the framework.

Introduction
to the Cocoon Web-publishing framework
A Web-publishing framework is not a new technology. It is an enabler,
building and integrating the power of various technologies to provide
a complete and effective Web-development framework. In the world of
Java-based frameworks, most seem to build on the power and flexibility
of servlets, JSPs, and XML. Quite a few frameworks exist; some of the
better ones include:
- Apache Cocoon
- Apache Struts
- Expresso Framework (integrated with Apache Struts
In this article, Peter Pilgrim looks at the best practice of using a popular web application toolkit, The Expresso Framework. The Expresso Framework, until version 3, had its own Model View Controller engine. It now integrates Struts, further reducing the amount of code that developers need to write. As well as having an MVC framework, Struts also has its own powerful custom tag actions.
Use open source in your J2EE projects to speed up your development process. Don't think that you have to invent and code everything yourself. In fact, with the complexity of today's applications and the time it takes to model, develop, test and document software, it becomes almost impossible to roll your own in every case. I'd even venture to say that it is poor engineering practice to do so. If a solution is available that can solve part of your problem, one that has been coded, tested and documented by hundreds of engineers, why wouldn't you use that solution? In this segment I'll show you why open source projects could be just what you're looking for.
Expresso, the open-source Java Web application framework offered by Jcorporate Ltd., is newly updated to incorporate Apache’s open-source Jakarta Struts framework....Expresso 4.0 provides components for building database-based Web applications, including object-relational mapping, job scheduling, table manipulation and caching. Struts provides presentation-oriented features, such as an XML tag library, which Jcorporate claims makes it easier to build applications, and also includes features such as URL mapping and improved error handling.
An article by Peter Pilgrim that looks at the best practices of using one popular web application toolkit, Expresso Framework. The idea of using custom tags, JSP, and the MVC paradigm are suitable for such frameworks. He illustrates the best of practice through an on-line stock trading program example.
Third-party vendors emphasize infrastructure, integration.While much of the buzz at JavaOne revolved around the latest trends—Web services and Java in embedded devices—many ... vendors showcased new versions of their tools, keeping the feet of the visionaries rooted to the ground. For developers using Jcorporate Ltd.’s Expresso open-source Web application framework, JavaOne was the venue for a minor update.

More than 5000 XML-J readers cast their votes to select the best products of the year from over 135 nominations. Jcorporate won 1st finalist for best development tool and 3rd finalist for best content management tool.
eContent is a Web-based content management system for creating enterprise information systems. Designed to integarte content management, scaleable content delivery, resource management and personalization, the program features support for managing support content stored in databases, XML repositories, and static files and programs.
Jcorporate has added J2EE support to its Expresso Framework 2.12 open source application framework. Version 2.12 offers users reusable, standards-based software elements that can create component-based solutions for Web applications.
Buying, selling, and building components on the Web speeds companies' time to market. By 2003, at least 70% of new applications will be built primarily from software components and application frameworks.
"Some are targeted to developers and focus on the assembly of general purpose objects. Expresso is the best example of this type of framework, which has security and database-oriented objects."
