Javera Technology Platform (JTP)

Product overview

Javera is a Java Enterprise (J2EE) software platform developed by Verax Systems aimed at rapid development of highly-scalable, mission critical, three-tier enterprise applications. Javera constitutes a foundation for the Verax OSS/BSS Suite and eBanking products. It is also frequently used by our professional services organization in order to deliver high-quality custom software solutions.

Features

User management

• User account and group management with graphical interface in the Administrator Console (AC).
• Rich user information including contact details, instant messaging accounts, avatars and others.
• Full integration with directory services (LDAP and Active Directory) with support for multiple servers.
• Security profiles and roles configurable in the Javera database or downloadable as user attributes from directory servers.
• Support for user collaboration: built-in instant messaging (IM) and e-mail support.

Security and diagnostic subsystem

• Security profiles associated with each user defining: password strengths, session timeouts, idle timeouts and others.
• Extensible system of XML-configurable access privileges, roles and rights checked on the front-end as well as the back-end side for maximum security.
• Security audit log providing full information on user logins (timestamp, host IP address, success, failure), logouts and denied operations with graphical interface in the AC.
• All the sensitive objects in the system (e.g. user accounts) have creation and last modification dates associated.
• Event log for tracing system and user events (e.g. new object added, object deleted, etc.).
• Logging & tracing services configurable from the AC at runtime.
• Secure communications bus between client and server, ensuring that exchanged data is encrypted.
• Single sign-on (SSO) mechanism.

Asynchronous, secure client-server communications bus

Javera uses Adobe LiveCycle (or the open source implementation - BlazeDS) data services for communications (with a proprietary framework on top) between client and server featuring:

• Fully bidirectional communications.
• Asynchronous events from server to client and vice versa.
• Encryption and security.
• Entity mapping framework to minimize bandwidth required between client and server.

Rich user interface

Javera provides a user interface framework based on industry-standard Adobe Flex Rich Internet Technology including:

• Standard view framework featuring: data paging, data transfer optimization, filtering, sorting, per-row actions, global actions, mini dashboards, searching, print, export and other capabilities.
• Ribbon menus.
• Customizable look & feel.
• Choice of web-based or desktop application.
• Built-in support for localization and internalization with English, German and Polish supported as standard.

Thanks to the use of the RIA technology, Javera based applications yield more capacity (i.e. can service more users on identical hardware) than classic HTML/AXJAX applications. This is due to the fact that UI processing takes place almost exclusively on client machines.

Business reports framework

Javera business reports framework allows users to:

• Design report templates.
• Generate reports in PDF, CSV or XLS formats.
• Schedule reports on a single host or a cluster of machines.
• Manage retention times.

Mobile gateway

Javera mobile gateway allows rapid creation of native and browser- based (HTML) applications for most popular smartphones running Android, Windows Mobile and iPhone. The gateway consists of:

• For native applications: frameworks with web-services (SOAP) gateway allowing rapid mobile application development and secure connecting to back-office data services.
• For web based applications: transformation engine to adapt existing HTML/XML content to smartphone browsers presentation capabilities.

Distributed processing framework

• Distributes processes on a cluster of cost-effective machines maximizing hardware price/performance ratio.
• Support for fault tolerance, virtualization and cloud computing.

Integration framework and SOA-ready

Javera is built as a collection of well defined services (e.g. security, logging, user management) accessible via RMI so SOAP interfaces. Such an approach allows for easy integration with Enterprise Service Bus and workflow products through standard adapters or connectors.

Administrator console

• Provides GUI to all the platform features listed above.
• Dashboard views with online statistics.
• Extensible with new features via a plugin mechanism.

Javera has been developed since 2004 and accumulates thousands of man-days development effort, allowing Verax Systems to:

• Reduce development and testing workload enabling shorter time-to-market cycle.
• Reduce risks around efficiency, performance, quality, reusability, scalability, security and flexibility as compared to "develop from scratch" approach.
• Decrease post-project maintenance burden.
• Benefit from testing effort invested and fully automated test suites.

Javera relies entirely on established Java Enterprise (J2EE) standards such as SPRING, Hibernate, Jasper Reports, JBPM, BlazeDS and others. The front-end (Administrator Console) relies on the Adobe Flex Rich Internet Application technology.

Javera provides virtually unlimited freedom of choice of operating environment:
