JCorporate Expresso framework

ProjectVia.net is based on JCorporate Expresso framework. Expresso is Java based MVC Model 2 architectural framework. It includes Struts and many other popular “open source” products. It assures a complete set of common web application functionalities as presented below. Expresso based applications are database oriented and have following common characteristics:

Schema object enables Expresso to reference the application through a single ob-ject. Using schema object, Expresso administers application’s security and other administration functions.
Database objects (DBObjects) are designed to be the persistence layer of applications and enable database independent object-relational mapping. Database object offer numerous functions, such as caching, valid values, declarative referential integrity, built-in security and default rendering.
Controller objects are used to encapsulate the “upper layer” of Expresso applica-tion’s logic. Based on finite-state-machine they consist of states and transitions be-tween states. They present the controller of the MVC architecture and are direct subclasses of Strut’s Action class. Similar to DBObjects, they have a lot of built in functions such as security and default rendering.
Job objects can be created and used for any task that can run independent of the user. Therefore they are suited for longer tasks that do not require user interaction, or tasks that require extensive processing of databases or other data sources. Typically a Job object is designed to send some kind of notification of its completion to the originating user.
