Introduction

The Hippo Site Toolkit 2 (HST2) is a library and set of tools that enables a developer to build websites by providing modular component based interaction and processing of any resources. URL mapping and link rewriting is handled for you. There is a clear separation between behavior (plain Java HstComponents), content (from Hippo Repository) and presentation (JSP and/or Freemarker). By default you'll have a preview and live environment of your website.
