Implementation of a model-centric web application framework with J2EE

While there are currently many open source web application frameworks available to the Java world, none of them are oriented towards the established web design methodologies such as OOHDM [1] or RMM [2]. Some while ago, we introduced the COBANA framework [3], which was designed to fill this gap. In this paper we describe the implementation details, focusing on those problems which are unique to this approach as opposed to other frameworks.
