'''RIFE''' is a content management framework designed for rapid [[Web application|web application]] development in Java, without using J2EE.

RIFE's design blends together in a consistent component object model two approaches, request-based and component-based. Through a centralized site structure (web engine), an application can be divided into reusable binary modules that can be integrated into other projects.

==Feature summary==
RIFE is composed out of a large collection of modular parts, which include:

* web application engine, ''[http://rifers.org/features/web+application+engine (description)]''
