MetaWareJ™ is a framework for creating web-based and Android business applications dealing with data input, validation and processing, based on client's requirements and rules.

Examples of these are any type of inventory, invoicing, customer database, sales, application bridges, government projects (customs, ports, civil registry, internal revenue), etc. 

MetaWareJ™ is an open source application, licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0.

Applications built with MetaWareJ™ are Java web applications utilizing HTML/JavaScript.

MetaWareJ™ can produce a variety of outputs such as charts, PDF reports, CSV exports etc.

Screens are simple and homogeneous, the programmer does not have to spend any time to maintain them.

The programmer defines the data to be retrieved, the updating of tables, the validations and the screen content in a very simple MetaWareJ™ XML language

Producing outputs of different formats does not require any re-programming (or designing) of the output.

MetaWareJ™ has a very good tutorial and user guide which you can also download from this page.

MetaWareJ™ reads the XML definitions, accesses the data from the database and displays it to the user. Modified data can be saved back in the database.

An application developer needs to handle the parts shown in yellow in the diagram:

• The XML definitions and
• The system business rules.
