WebMacro is a framework for developing Java Servlets. It enforces a Model-View-Controller framework on a project allowing for a clean separation of concerns in the design. In particular WebMacro keeps program source code absolutely separate from presentation HTML code. WebMacro is open source software.

WebMacro was initially created and designed by Justin Wells in the mid 1990's, when the project was taken over by a team at SourceForge. Extensive discussions of WebMacro on the Java Sevlet-Interest mailing list at that time may have been influential in Sun Microsystem's decision to move their Java Server Pages product to a Model-View-Controller architecture.
