First Look at NiceSite

Okay, I've finally posted a demo application using my experimental NiceSite framework. The key features of NiceSite are:

1 Nice language wrapper around Echo 2 UI framework
2 ActiveRecord pattern implementation using Hibernate, including automatic Hibernate mapping generation

As I've said before, I'm convinced that web application development in Java could be a lot easier than it is, and I think that all the right technologies and patterns are now in place. The trick is pulling them together in a tight package that makes it easy to get started while providing access to the full power of the J2EE ecosystem. NiceSite is an initial attempt at creating such a package.
