The document introduces JSPX, a web framework that aims to make web development easier by removing concerns about the web tier. It has features like web forms, data controls, validation, localization and integration with JAAS. The document demonstrates how to get started with JSPX with just 3 clicks by defining servlets in web.xml. It discusses the framework's architecture, code metrics and how it generates HTML responses. It invites feedback on missing features and next steps like an Eclipse plugin and CMS integration.
