Between full "client/server" and "conventional web apps", the Telosys framework, associated with Eclipse plugins, offers a new approach to build Java/AJAX applications.

The purpose of this talk is to demonstrate that the Java platform can be light and efficient when the application development relies on a thin global framework applying well known principles ( Convention over Configuration (CoC) , Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY), etc… )

In this talk we will also mention

• the benefits of a full-stack framework (when all layers are designed to work seamlessly together with a minimum of code)
• the Model Driven Development based on a "lightweight model" synchronized with the database
• a pragmatic scaffolding approach for code generation
• the "mapping propagation"
• the praise of simplicity : "Keep it simple" (because simplicity works best in most situations)
