This is a sample 1.5+ web application that demonstrates some of the popular java based web frameworks as simple as it can be (I think :) ).

Under the hood you can find,

  JSF, Facelets
  MyFaces Orchestra
  Spring
  Hibernate (Search, Validator)
  Jboss Envers
  CXF, JAX-WS
  Joda Time (with Hibernate persistency support)
  Selenium Tests
  slf4j, logback

and also comin' up next: Reporting, Spring-security, CAS integration, ACL's and etc. Check out the project from SVN at http://mesir.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/mesir.

There is a simple domain in the sample which, an AddressBook class has OneToMany relation on Contact class. There is a google group to talk about all these. Check it out at http://groups.google.com/group/mesir.

The name mesir comes from a compound mastic that has a history over 500 years. It contains 41 different spices that gives its unique taste. Of course the aim here is not to blend 41 different frameworks :)
