This document is the API specification for the J. Damon & Co. Application Architecture (JDA²). JDA² provides a Model-View-Controller (MVC) framework used to simplify the development of web applications. A review of existing frameworks notes that most lead to incredibly inefficient and non-object-oriented development. JDA² is designed to simplify and encourage object-oriented development.

Important Note: All J. Damon & Co. classes use "wrapper" classes, to the extent possible, when using the Sun J2SE and J2EE Java APIs. The purpose is to insulate the J. Damon & Co. API from changes that occur to the Java APIs between releases.
