Wiring-Up Key Java Open Source Projects
There are a lot of open source software projects in the Java space. The popular ones are actually extremely popular, becoming common place within most Java developer’s tool boxes. However, being separate projects, it takes considerable effort to develop applications that consistently bring them all together.
(PRWEB) January 12, 2005 -- There is a movement today and a lot of buzz
surrounding “Java Open Source Stacks”, which combine open source projects into a
single bundled deliverable. Unfortunately, architects and developers building
new applications will not find these stacks initially useful since they lack the
ability to truly assist in the design and development of an application. They
only become useful once the application begins to take shape.
Another
limitation of the open stack is a lack of abstractions between the open source
project and the application being developed. Without this, a decision to use
something other than a particular project will result in wide spread changes to
all applications using the project. With the right abstraction in place, the
only change is to the abstract implementation.
Zeroing in on the problem
of cleanly bringing together key open source Java projects, realMethods provides
a single cohesive Java/J2EE framework. This framework provides complete coverage
for any J2EE application scenario, and does so by effortlessly generating
complete applications that seamlessly wire together popular Java open source
projects.
“We recognize the tremendous value of open source efforts such
as Apache’s Struts, Axis, Velocity, Log4J, and Ant projects, as well as
Hibernate and JUnit. Each of these projects is very useful independently, but
from an application standpoint, there is typically significant work in wiring
them together. Our framework and code generator makes this happen without any
developer effort.” says Steven Randolph, CTO of realMethods. “Customers
understand the strength, popularity, and low risk usability of these
collaborative open software projects, and claim this to be an important factor
when adopting our framework as their enterprise standard. Our framework simply
takes it to the next logical level by generating usable and extendable
applications that leverage an open source stack, and this is where the hard work
is. Also, the framework provides abstractions on top of the open source project,
so a different project can be swapped in with minimal impact to the generated
application.”
