We’ve purposefully kept this chapter focused on Plain-Old Web Applications (POWA)—a servlet and a JavaServer Pages (JSP) page. We’re not going to tell you how to develop your Struts 2, Tapestry, Wicket, Java Server Faces (JSF), or Waffle application in the next 20-odd pages, and we’re not going to get into integrating an Inversion of Control (IoC) container such as Plexus, Guice, or the Spring Framework. The goal of this chapter is to show you the basic facilities that Maven provides for developing web applications—no more, no less. Later in this book, we’re going to take a look at developing two web applications: one which that Hibernate, Velocity, and the Spring Framework; and the other that uses Plexus.
