 <p>
 This document is for bragging about all of Turbine's features and inherent
 coolness. Turbine is well over 200 classes and contains a boat load of
 features and API's. Many of these can also be used indepently of Turbine.
 Almost all of the default implementations can be easily overridden with
 your own implementations. Turbine also has extensive Javadoc documentation
 for nearly all of the classes as well as in-code comments. It clearly has
 been developed by the people who do web applications on a daily basis and
 have to constantly solve the same problems over and over again.
 </p>

 <p>
 <strong>All of these features have been made possible thanks to the over
 30 developers (and growing all the time!) who have <a href="team-list.html">
 contributed</a> to Turbine over the last 10+ years.</strong>
 </p>

 <ul>
     <li>
       Integration with template systems: Velocity, JSP
     </li>
     <li>
         Utility code for working with Velocity, such as a
         SelectorBox class for building <code>select</code> boxes</li>
     <li>
         Single Entry Point Servlet model for optimal security and control</li>
     <li>
         ParameterParsing for GET/POST/PATH_INFO</li>
     <li>
         Event based Action handling!</li>
     <li>
         Strict MVC guidelines implemented through many interfaces and abstract
         classes as well as through the template systems.</li>
     <li>
         GlobalCache (Singleton based system for caching data across servlets and
         requests)</li>
     <li>
         DateSelector (utility for building the HTML for popup date menus)</li>
     <li>
         Generic Services API for creating Singletons</li>
     <li>
         <a href="http://www.xml-rpc.com/">XML-RPC</a> Service Integration</li>
     <li>
         Localization Services API</li>

         JNDI Services API</li>
     <li>
         Visitor/Member API for managing users</li>
     <li>
         Temporary and Permanent storage/management for users session data</li>
     <li>
         ACL (Access Control List) based security system that uses Roles and
         Permissions (and the database schemas)</li>
     <li>
         BrowserDetector class for determining which browser someone is using</li>
     <li>
         GenerateUniqueId class for getting a unique number (ie: for sessions)</li>
     <li>
         Logging via commons-logging, backed by Log4j.
     </li>
     <li>
         A centralized configuration using commons-configuration to make it easy
         to retrieve properties.
     </li>
     <li>
         Properties can be stored in JNDI, XML, or .properties files!  Properties can
         override each other.
     </li>
     <li>
         Integration with JavaMail to make sending email painless</li>
     <li>
         Integration with JavaMail and Velocity to allow you to send
         processed Velocity templates as email!</li>
     <li>
         Built using Maven</li>
     <li>
         Initial application development WAR archive creation tool using Ant</li>
     <li>
         Turbine Servlet works cleanly with Servlet API 2.4 and higher</li>
