AsyncFW/DO – Click to read the
Overview
What is a Framework?
A
framework is a design pattern (or patterns) used to increase development
productivity. A framework is not a development environment, but is instead
a development structure, which should reduce redundancy and complexity -
while adding value, and maintaining flexibility
The AsyncFW framework takes a holistic approach to web
application development by providing both a client side (optional) and
server side frameworks.
Client Side
The AsyncFW framework provides an Ajax (Async and/or Sync) interface for
all host interactions. It provides full form submission functionality, as
well as direct access to java class methods on the server (DWR like
access). Comet support (or reverse Ajax) is also
included.
Server Side
On the server AsyncFW provides an array of tools,
utilities, and functionality to facilitate rapid, consistent, and
maintainable web applications.

Session state management
3)
User validation/roles (optional)
4)
Centralized form/page repository (optional)
5)
Comet (reverse Ajax)

Secure AsyncFW Direct Class access (DWR
Like)
7)
JMS encapsulation for simplified, yet robust
implementation
8)
Persistent Objects (JDO light – w/o Enhanced
classes)
9)
Connection pool management
10)Logging
11) Object
based properties
12) Data Objects (getters and setters) for
request and response objects
13) XSL Transformation
14) Soup to nuts prototyping tool (FWAdmin)
15) Services
(SOA) made simple
16) …and
more!
Where to start?
I would suggest starting with the Workstation Setup
tutorial, then go into the FWAdmin tutorial.
