Java Layered Frameworks (JLF) is a set of Java code to provide a foundation for faster Java software development.  A high level description of each of the core architectural frameworks follow:

• A Configuration framework to abstract whether you are running inside a J2SE JVM (JDK 1.2.2 or later) or a J2EE container (thus the frameworks run inside or outside a J2EE container)
• A Logging Framework, a set of improvements to Todd Lauinger's version of JLog, which includes a particularly useful email logging mechanism to notify people of errant code (as published in Java Report in this article).
• A Utility Library, containing hopefully useful utility classes
• A Data Mapping Framework, the foundation for connecting the data in your Java code to JDBC, HTML Forms, and XML data sources
• A set of JSPs to be used when running the frameworks inside a J2EE container, to help monitor them
• Some sample application code to show you how to make use of the frameworks

See the Getting Started with JLF page to configure and run the code in Java Layered Frameworks.

Design documentation for the frameworks is here.

Design documentation for the sample application code is here.

We give you all the source code, so you can modify it to your heart's content. For your convenience, the frameworks are built into jlf.jar, jlf.war, and the entire distribution, including this document, is here.
