Java view technologies and frameworks

Java view technologies and frameworks are web-basedsoftware libraries that provide the user interface, or "view-layer", of Javaweb applications. Such application frameworks are used for defining web pages and handling the HTTPrequests (clicks) generated by those web pages. As a sub-category of web frameworks, view-layer frameworks often overlap to varying degrees with web frameworks that provide other functionality for Java web applications.

Java view-layer frameworks often claim to support some or all of the model–view–controller design pattern.
