Products - Server Runtime

Casabac's server runtime is running as part of a J2EE web application.

It requires a servlet engine as environment like...

• Tomcat 3/4/5
• Jetty
• and others supporting servlet 2.2 standard

...or any application server containing a servlet engine:

• JBoss
• IBM Websphere
• BEA Weblogic
• SAP Netweaver
• Sun IPlanet
• and others

The Casabac GUI Server provides:

• Storing and making available layout definitions and generated HTML pages
• Receiving and responding "data calls" by the clients
• Transferring "data call" to so called application adapters
• Keeping track of user sessions and activities within user sessions

A J2EE web application is a self containing package that is deployed to a J2EE application server/ servlet engine. Casabac is part of your web application - like adding a certain library to your application. Multi applications can be deployed to one application server while each application has its own Casabac GUI server embedded. The embedded servers can be of different versions or releases.

The server side representation of "pages" are called "adapter objects". While a page contains fields and buttons, an adapter object provides corresponding properties and methods. The adapter classes are simple Java Bean classes and allow to openly access any kind of framework. It's the developer's choice to make use of:

• EJBs
• plain Java implementation
• Hibernate
• SOAP messaging or
• any other technology framework
