Summer introduces a super clean dynamic HTML5 markup that enables templates, expressions and iterators. In order to enable these it internally utilizes a subset of the functionality offered by JavaServer Faces 2.0 while preserving the overall Spring MVC ideology. Summer takes advantage of the modular capabilities of Servlet 3.0 and enables the creation of true web enabled modules that combine both Java code, configurations and static resources. Thanks to Spring 3 you can easily apply conversion and bean validation as well as data binding, content negotiation and REST support. The project also offers an optional integration with jQuery which enables partial page rendering using AJAX and HTML5 WebSocket capabilities based on the Atmosphere framework.
Summer is still in a young project and doesn't offer much documentation. It's available on GitHub and we're open for people who find it interesting and want to contribute whatever they can. Our plans for the next milestone include features like Flash scope and AJAX validation as well as some more samples.
