            <title>SASH</title>
            <link>http://swik.net/SASH</link>
            <doap:name>SASH</doap:name>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a class=&quot;wikilink&quot; href=&quot;http://swik.net/SourceLabs&quot;&gt;SourceLabs&lt;/a&gt; SASH stack for &lt;a class=&quot;wikilink&quot; href=&quot;http://swik.net/Java&quot;&gt;Java&lt;/a&gt; is a stack of lightweight enterprise app frameworks that deploy on a &lt;a class=&quot;wikilink&quot; href=&quot;http://swik.net/J2EE&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;J2EE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; application server or other Java container.  &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;J2EE&lt;/span&gt; application standards define system services like transactions, security, messaging, etc.  Commercial vendors have focused on providing the best qualities of service for these system services but not addressed application frameworks.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;While developers can build applications directly against the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;J2EE&lt;/span&gt; APIs, frameworks drastically reduce the amount of infrastructure code needed for&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;User Interface&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;wikilink&quot; href=&quot;http://swik.net/POJO&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;POJO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; management&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;Database access and O-R mapping&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;Web Services&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;/ul&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.sourcelabs.com/media/sashstack_logo.gif&quot; alt/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;The  &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;SASH&lt;/span&gt; stack integrates open source projects to provide these capabilities in a complete package that minimizes the need for homegrown frameworks.  &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;SASH&lt;/span&gt; consists of&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;wikilink&quot; href=&quot;http://swik.net/Spring&quot;&gt;Spring&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;wikilink&quot; href=&quot;http://swik.net/Axis&quot;&gt;Axis&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;wikilink&quot; href=&quot;http://swik.net/Struts&quot;&gt;Struts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;wikilink&quot; href=&quot;http://swik.net/Hibernate&quot;&gt;Hibernate&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;/ul&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;SASH&lt;/span&gt; is available on various application server containers, and can also be downloaded from SourceLabs with Tomcat, providing a complete web application platform.&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;RedHat charges money for the binary distributions of &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;RHEL&lt;/span&gt;, however in accordance with the &lt;a class=&quot;wikilink&quot; href=&quot;http://swik.net/License:GPL&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;GPL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, they also offer the source code to the &lt;a class=&quot;wikilink&quot; href=&quot;http://swik.net/os&quot;&gt;operating system&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Several projects have taken advantage of the source code to provide binary compatible distributions of &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;RHEL&lt;/span&gt;, including the popular &lt;a class=&quot;wikilink&quot; href=&quot;http://swik.net/CentOS&quot;&gt;CentOS&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a class=&quot;wikilink&quot; href=&quot;http://swik.net/WhiteBox-Linux&quot;&gt;WhiteBox Linux&lt;/a&gt; and others.&lt;/p&gt;
