The Web Tools Project (WTP) by the Eclipse Foundation is a set of open source
tools that substantially reduce the time required for the development of Web
applications, EJBs, and Web services. The WTP's current version is 0.7.1 and
version 1.0 is coming later this year. The framework provides wizards and
tools to create EJBs, Web components such as servlets and JSPs, and Web
services using the Axis engine. It also provides source editors for HTML,
JavaScript, CSS, JSP, SQL, XML, DTD, XSD, and WSDL; graphical editors for
XSD, WSDL, J2EE project builders, models, and a J2EE navigator; a Web service
wizard, explorer, and WS-I Test Tools; and database access, query tools, and
models.

limitations: Java Server Pages (JSP) names were hard-coded inside the servlet
code SQL was also hard-c... (more)
Today's trend is to integrate existing systems in a standard way to make
disparate implementations interoperate. Web Services and XML came along with
the ability to provide a standard communication interface between these
systems, as well as the standard description language - WSDL - the Web
Services Description Language that lets those systems define the structure of
the services they'r... (more)
Applying XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language for Transformations) to XML
documents can be done using the Java EE (formerly J2EE) Servlet filters model
and Java Server Pages (JSP) technology. Servlet filters can be invoked before
