WebForum is a versatile servlet for creating user-friendly web forums with built-in web forms for easy administration. Perfect for building professional discussion platforms.
To use WebForum, all you need is Java servlet compatibility and Java 1.1 (tested on both Linux and Windows). And best of all, it's completely open source under the GPL license. Plus, with modern JVMs, WebForum runs faster than ever before.
One of the key features of this servlet is its optimized performance. Unlike many database-based forums, WebForum has been built from the ground up with a fully object-oriented structure. It uses session tracking to dynamically generate pages based on each visitor's identity, remembering names and email addresses for greater customization.
WebForum also offers extensive CSS customization options, so you can tailor the look and feel of each forum to your unique needs. And unlike many other solutions, WebForum was built as a servlet from the ground up, relying only on the most basic Java technology rather than requiring a full J2EE server.
Installation is a breeze as well. Simply drop classes and configuration files into your servlet container, edit the settings in one configuration file, and you're ready to go. WebForum doesn't even require a separate database, as it saves all data to text files instead.
Finally, WebForum is an actively-supported and developed project, with a Java 2 applet included that is fully compatible with the forum. And with new features like indexing and searching capabilities, it's never been easier to get the most out of your online forum.
