Java DB; Reasonable Server Faces

Sun Microsystems recently announced that it is distributing and supporting Java DB based on the 100-percent Java technology, open-source Apache Derby database.

Java DB is lightweight at 2MB and embeddable within desktop Java technology applications. Desktop applications can now access powerful database storage with triggers, stored procedures, and support for SQL, Java DataBase Connectivity (JDBC) software, and Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE, formerly referred to as J2EE), all embedded within the same Java virtual machine (JVM). Read more about it in this article available from Sun's web-site:
Reasonable Server Faces (RSF)

RSF is an open source Java web framework based on Spring, which is analogous to Sun's JavaServer Faces (JSF) framework. RSF was released to be as simple as possible, without presenting an "unexpected learning curve." RSF supports a lot of the same features as JSF, although it claims to be simpler, lighter-weight, and easier to learn. As the documentation says, if you use RSF in the default configuration, you should never see another HttpServletRequest or HTML tag in your code again. What's more, in your business logic, you need never see any dependence on external libraries.
