The Riena platform is a framework for building multi-tier enterprise client/server applications.

Riena broadens the usage of OSGi/Equinox's service-oriented architecture by providing access to local and remote services in a transparent way. Using this uniform programming model, the Riena components 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.

Moreover, the Riena user interface components support a business-process oriented user interface and navigation metaphor which can be used as alternative to the default workbench layout.

Get started with developing Riena applications

  1. Download, install, and set up Riena
  2. Take a look at the Example applications

Key Concepts and Features

Base concepts

Injecting Services and Extensions
Services and Extensions are the building blocks of Eclipse RCP applications. Riena's lightweight and programmatic approach of injecting services and extensions eases component development and testing. (Episode II: Getting Started with Wiring )
Remote Services - Getting Started - Goals and Motivation
How standard OSGi Services can be published as webservice endpoints and how they can then be consumed by a client.
Security
Introduces the distributed/remote concept to JAAS and allows processing client login on the server. Also facilitates making the current Subject (a container for Principals) available on the client and on the server thread where remote service calls are processed.
Object Transactions
Object Transactions are a base technology to track changes in large object nets. They can be used to reduce bandwidth usage between client and server by transmitting only properties that have changed since the initial loading of the object net.
Stages
Developing, testing, running and maintaining client/server applications require more than a monolithic environment setup. Stages are Riena's approach to deal with that.
Client Monitoring
Delivering up-to-date information of the health and usage of a client application to the operators/developers.
Controller Tests
Testing the logic of a SubModuleController.
Riena Core
Learn about Riena's support for core functionality like writing files to disk (RienaLocations), using Log4j with Riena, useful utility classes etc.
Riena Toolbox
Tooling support to ease Riena application development.

User Interface (UI) concepts

Navigation 
How to configure and use Riena's navigation model.
Look&Feel 
Central location to configure the fonts, colors and other Riena specific settings.
Ridget code snippets 
Small examples that teach you how to use Ridgets (=Riena Widgets)
UI Filters 
Hide parts of your application declaratively.
Login support 
Providing an application with a login dialog/view.
Use Custom Ridgets 
Making and using custom ridgets for your application.
Riena Detached Views 
How to easily open 'auxilary' views when a certain navigation node is selected.
Riena Key Bindings 
How to add your own key bindings to Riena using standard extension points, and lists the default key bindings.
Riena on RAP 
How to run Riena on the Rich Ajax Platform (RAP).
