Definitions do vary, but I define a framework as this:
A Java web development framework is a collection of tools and API's that
enhance Sun's standard Java APIs by providing:
- Structure to web development
- Generic services that are needed on most projects (logging, persistence,
etc...)
- Tools and methods that simplify and accelerate web development
A framework will allow you to jumpstart your project. Why write another
logging class when there is open source code out there that does everything
you want, and has been tested by many people? Frameworks attempt to make
common tasks in web development easier, and allow you to work on the specific
business services that are important to your client.
