<p>
        The Model-Glue family of frameworks support Web application developers by making the construction of Object-Oriented Web and Rich Internet Applications a straightforward process.
</p>
<p>
        Through a simple implementation of Implicit Invocation and Model-View-Controller, they allow applications to be well organized without sacrificing flexibility.

                Model-Glue: ColdFusion is designed to make it easier to use object-oriented models to create HTML-based applications.
        </p>
        <p>
                It enforces Model-View-Controller design, eases implicit invocation, does repetitive work for you, and plays well with other open-source ColdFusion frameworks.

        <li>Enabling.  <p>It builds on ColdFusion as a productivity tool for writing Web applications.</p></li>
        
        <li>Strong but Simple.  <p>Model-Glue is based on Model View Controller and Implicit Invocation - but not at all complicated.</p></li>

        <li>Compatible.  <p>Model-Glue is lightweight enough to play well with others: it works with Model frameworks like Tartan and ColdSpring as well as Object/Relational Mapping frameworks like Reactor and Transfer.</p></li>
