4.1 | 1 | = The REQUEA Platform = |
| |
3.1 | 2 | |
| |
4.1 | 3 | The REQUEA Platform is a component that is typically installed in a standard web application server (J2EE such as Tomcat, JBoss, OracleAS, JonAs) and provides: |
| |
3.1 | 4 | |
| |
4.1 | 5 | * An OSGi architecture within the web application for modularity and extensibility of the platform |
| 6 | * An document based model architecture (MDA) for creating document based application where the data manipulated is easily and effitiently stored in a database (such as Oracle, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server). | ||
| 7 | * A web user interface that is optimized for speed, ergonomics and complex interactivity with the user. | ||
| |
3.1 | 8 | |
| |
4.1 | 9 | = Platform services = |
| |
3.1 | 10 | |
| |
4.1 | 11 | The platform runs on top of standard J2EE application server and uses J2EE services provided by the environment (such as Servlets, JDBC, ...). |
| |
3.1 | 12 | |
| |
4.1 | 13 | The platform provides the following services: |
| 14 | |||
| 15 | * database storage persistence service | ||
| 16 | * application business rules | ||
| 17 | * user interface service | ||
| 18 | * import / export services | ||
| 19 | * WebServices interfaces (SOAP) | ||
| 20 | * Java Content Repository interface | ||
| 21 | * Workflow services | ||
| 22 | * Reporting services (JasperReports integration) | ||
| 23 | * Graphs and Statistics services | ||
| 24 | |||
| 25 | All those base services are provided as OSGi services (packaged in bundles) | ||
| 26 | |||
| 27 | On top of those base services, we find the applications that are also OSGi bundles: | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | * Core applications, such as security and user definitions | ||
| 30 | * Standard applications, such as calendar, events, resources and catalog management | ||
| 31 | * Applications such as ITIL incident management | ||
| 32 | * Customer Specific applications where customer specific code may be created | ||
| 33 | * Customer customization where changes in labels, workflows, ... for a specific implementation can be added. | ||

| 40 | = Applications and Bundles = | ||
| 41 | |||
| 42 | Applications are packaged in OSGi bundles (see bundles: [[Bundles>>Bundles]]) that can be deployed on a modular fashion. This provides flexibility and modularity to the platform. | ||
