3 Unique Features f EL4J This dcument lists the distinctive features f EL4J. A frequent questin abut EL4J is what it prvides additinally t the framewrks it includes.

The fllwing list shws the distinctive features f EL4J (this list is nt exhaustive, please check als the mdule dcumentatin and the javadc): Applicatin templates t get quickly started: fr GUIs and Web UIs. The gal is t have a running sample applicatin within 10 minutes! In this running applicatin yu have a prven structure and sample slutins fr typical develpment issues. Supprt fr mdules with cde, default cnfiguratin and dependencies. This feature is based n the build system (Maven 2), the basic spring abstractins, sme EL4J supprt and cnventins. Mre flexible and rbust lading f cnfiguratin resurces Inclusin and exclusin list t include/ exclude cnfiguratin files Stre the list f cnfiguratin resurces t lad in the jar-file manifest Merging f spring cnfiguratin: adding mre parameters t an existing list f parameters Each EL4J mdule packages functinality with samples, dcumentatin and default cnfiguratin. Imprved remting Easier switching between remting prtcls (unificatin f remting prtcls) Remte POJOs via SOAP (simpler than with basic Spring), supprt fr JAXB V 1.7 / / POS, MZE, SWI, DZI, JHN 3 / 7 ELCA Infrmatique SA, Switzerland, 2009.
