What is it? * itools.uri -- an API to manage URIs, to identify and locate resources. * itools.resources -- an abstraction layer over resources that let to manage them with a consistent API, independently of where they are stored. * itools.handlers -- resource handlers infrastructure (resource handlers are non persistent classes that add specific semantics to resources). This package also includes several handlers out of the box. * itools.xml -- XML infrastructure, includes resource handlers for XML, XHTML and HTML documents. Plus the Simple Template Language. * itools.i18n -- tools for language negotiation and text segmentation. * itools.workflow -- represent workflows as automatons, objects can move from one state to another through transitions, classes can add specific semantics to states and transitions. * itools.catalog -- An Index & Search engine.
