This simple ActiveWeb project available for download demonstrates main principles of the framework. It is a CRUD application, which can list/add/view books. It also shows how to write model and controller specs (tests), and how to perform dependency injection.

Pre-requisites

• Java (any version will do)
• Maven 2/3
• MySQL (only required for this startup app, not a real dependency for ActiveWeb)
