It stands apart from other Java MVC frameworks because it incorporates innovative programming techniques that boost productivity without sacrificing good object oriented design practices. Most common programming tasks can be completed without writing a single line of code.It uses Servlet API 2.3 and does not require JSP or TagLibs.
