Rayures aims to "complete the stack" of a Stripes web application. The goal is to provide a JPA/Hibernate/Spring layer with minimal effort.

Rayures also includes a Velocity view template module that provides an alternative to JSPs. This alternative may be interesting to developers who like the idea of more code in Java and less code in templates. The logic in templates does not become forbidden, but is simplified by Velocity's easy syntax.

Rayures generates an application to get started, asking for just a few essential configuration parameters.

Finally, Rayures aims to provide some conventions and other niceties to generally make Stripes development even faster, and even more enjoyable.
