On the development side a scripting > layer (using Apache BSF) allows to use any scripting language > with Sling (of course you can use plain old Java, too). And > on top of this, Sling helps in developing an application in a > RESTful way. > > As the first web framework dedicated to JSR-170 Java Content > Repositories, Sling makes it very simple to implement simple > applications, while providing an enterprise-level framework > for more complex applications. > > Apache Sling currently comes in four flavors: > - A standalone application (a jar containing everything to > get started with Sling) > - A web application (just drop this into your favorite web container) > - The full source package (interested in reading the source?) > - Maven Artifacts (available through the Apache Incubator Repository) > > For more information, please visit the Apache Sling web site > at http://incubator.apache.org/sling. > > or go directly to the download site at > http://incubator.apache.org/sling/site/downloads.cgi > > The Apache Sling Community > > -- > Carsten Ziegeler > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >
