Click is a simple and intuitive page and component oriented Java web framework. There are no unnecessary abstractions or complex concepts to learn and understand. Pages and components are developed in Java while layouts are specified in Velocity or JSP. You don't have to repeat component hierarchies in your view as each component knows how to render itself.

Highlights for 1.4 includes:

• Stateful page support which really make developing complex pages and page flows much easier.
• New PerformanceFilter which gives your applications Yahoo style performance for very little effort.
• New AutoCompleteTextField control which gives you Ajax google suggest functionality.
  
• New Ant task to build quickly build application templates or scaffolding.
• Added support for Cayenne versions 2.x and 3.x.
• ThreadLocal Context support which giving you access to the Context in page constructors.
• New Control event methods, onInit(), onRender() and onDestroy().
• Lots more code examples and design patterns on click-examples.
• Performance improvements.
