RIFE is a full-stack web application framework with tools and APIs to implement most common web features. Each of its toolkits is usable by itself and together they offer powerful integrated features that boost your productivity. RIFE ensures that every declaration and definition is handled in one place in the code. This simplifies the developer's task by reducing code replication, enforcing consistency, and easing maintenance.

RIFE's design provides the best of request-based and component-based approaches and blends them together in a consistent component object model. The web engine provides a solution that values maintainability without compromising on productivity. Through a centralized site structure, an application can be split up into easily reusable binary modules that can be seamlessly integrated into other projects.

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

• web application engine
• integrated web continuations
• IoC support
• bidirectional multi-format template engine
• template content transforming
• content management framework
• centralized meta-data facility
• authentication framework
• JDBC abstraction layer
• database query builders
• persistence layer
• configuration framework
• central application life-cycle management
• cron-like scheduler
• asynchronous mail queue
• content syndication framework
• resource abstraction
• web services
