Architecture

The abas eB architecture is divided into three layers: Web, function logic and data access. The separation of these layers makes the application flexible for expansions and adjustments. This is especially important for Internet applications, which must constantly adapt to an ever-changing environment. In addition, this layer architecture enables the requirements for abas eB scalability.

Implemented technolgies and tools

• Apache Web server
• Apache Tomcat
• Apache Struts
• Java ServerPages (JSP)
• Apache Axis
• Eclipse ® Tool Platform
• XML
• Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)
• Eclipse Modelling Framework (EMF)
• Spring Framework
• Spring Web Flow

Open design

Open for expansions and individual adjustments, you can make changes in numerous locations of the Web layer and function logic, freeing up the entire function spectrum from the abas eB engine. All those functions will be provided in Java API, which plays an important role in all applications (e.g. data access, security, monitoring, caching, error handling, etc.).

abas eB is perfectly suited as an integration platform. The architecture enables access to different sources (external systems) and integrates the extracted information in a role-based and personalized view. The use of standardized technologies, such as XML and SOAP, is important for heterogeneous environments and is an integral part of the abas eB architecture.
