Features
Highly customizable
Not only applications shall be customizable but also development environments. Even better, application development
should be independent of specific frameworks. Therefore OSBP models rely on domain specific languages (DSL) to
uncouple dependencies between business and IT know-how. All OSBP DSL
allow to insert custom behavior for every single feature by replacing the default implementation.
Unique full stack DSL architecture
We believe that business models shall not be stashed in plain source code.
Instead, business models using modeling techniques persisted in domain specific languages (DSL) will result
in short implementation times, sustainable and easy improvable business applications dramatically diminishing software related costs.
Using OSBP, developers and architects can take advantage of built-in 30+ frameworks, covering practically
all different aspects of engineering business or enterprise applications.
Sophisticated Application Layout
OSBP delivers typical visualization and interaction components that build a graphical user interface (GUI), including dialogs,
tables (and grids), reports, charts, topology maps, business processes, and organograms. All these features can be designed
via distinct view model DSL. A view, once defined, can be reused on different parts.
The structure of an OSBP application relies on the Eclipse E4 application model, which provides a very flexible way to
determine how the application frontend can be subdivided. In other words, end user applications build with OSBP
benefit from the well-known Eclipse IDE ergonomics.
Sevices
The service layer defines a common set of application operations available to many kind of client and it coordinates
an application's response in each operation . All services follow the Declarative Service specification and implement
the E4 Context Function if related to the UI. Any service can therefore be injected into your customized code to
benefit from its functionality, also Web Services are supported. Services comprise I18N support, object metadata,
event and message broadcasting, units of measurement, dialog layouting and focusing strategies, and many more.
Data persistence
Business applications are always data centric. It may be a relational database or a non-SQL database,
a web-service or just files. OSBP is not tied to a specific technology. You can easily mix various database
products in a single application. The OS.bee persistence includes features like entity models, data types and data transfer
objects (DTO), supplemented by persistence service, OSGi implementations, as well as mock data generator.
Integration
With integration features OSBP based applications can be embedded into environments of your choice.
Data interchange allows for a real-time integration with any system and delivers a lightweight platform
on which you can build your own custom processing logic for a wide range of data formats.
Transform data regardless of formats and implement ETL features.
