The pattern server is a hypertext database. This database is populated by Things and Associations. Things are the objects of the world, such as a person, a project, a book. Associations are relationships among the things, such as "written by", "is a", "is an example of".

Implementation overview

There are three primary components:

servlet pattern server template system
Initializes the pattern server at startup and fulfills network requests by instantiating serveraction objects (plug-ins) defined in the pattern server configuration file. Behavior specific to the organization and storage of the things and associations that make up the information web. System for dynamic production of HTML from many small templates. Templates "visualize" java objects; the V and C in WebMVC.

Example installation

using JSWDK-1.0.1
