ZK

Java framework for building server-side web and mobile user interfaces, with components declared in ZUML markup and Ajax handled without client-side JavaScript code.

ZK is a Java framework for building enterprise web and mobile applications. The user interface is declared in ZUML markup, and the README says Ajax works without JavaScript written by the developer. The Maven setup guide lists the editions and the Maven repository, and applications run on a servlet application server such as Jetty or Tomcat, which the deployment pages name.

Worth knowing

The community edition is under LGPL, while the professional and enterprise editions are premium and have a 60-day evaluation. Versions are published to Maven Central, and the GitHub repository holds one older release.
