WebObjects
From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection
WebObjects is a free open source Java framework for developing Internet applications. WebObjects supports Rapid Application Development (RAD) of Ajax, web services, streaming media, file transfers, and many other web technologies. WebObjects was originally developed by and for NeXT computers in the mid 1990's. Apple ported WebObjects to Objective C for use with MacOS X and MacOS X Server, but later deciding to use Java for the framework instead.
WebObjects has an active developer community which provides support through the WebObjects Developer and WebObjects Deployment email lists. New developers may also find the WebObjects Community Wiki helpful.
