JSP Afterburner is a web application Framework.

Afterburner believes that JSPs are not evil. Developers are just afraid of them. We should be afraid of JSPs out of the box. We've been given nothing to be html with. Tag libraries are a cop out.

The specifications for the servlet container and jsp stop short of handing us the two fundamentals of a basic framework: templating and inline values.

JSP Afterburner focuses on building views that interact with users. The necessities of data management and service usage is already provided by countless other open source projects and commercial vendors.
