Description

The Riena platform will be the foundation for building multi-tier enterprise client/server applications. As such Riena will broaden the usage of the service oriented architecture of OSGi/Equinox by providing access to local and remote services in a transparent way. Using this uniform programming model, the components of Riena and the business components of the enterprise application can be developed regardless of their target location. Components are later easily placed on client or server depending on the business requirements.

Components from existing Eclipse projects will be adapted to support the distributed aspect of enterprise applications. Furthermore new components will be provided to support the special needs of building and running large enterprise applications.

As an example the Riena user interface components will support a business process oriented user interface visualization and navigation metaphor which can be used as alternative to the default workbench layout.

So Riena will provide a homogeneous platform for enterprise business applications from the user interface to backend integration, all based on the proven Equinox/Eclipse Platform.
