The Riena platform is a framework for building multi-tier enterprise client/server applications.
As such Riena is broadening 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.
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.
Get started with developing Riena 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
- How standard OSGi Services can be published as webservice endpoints and how they can then be consumed by a client. (Also: Riena Remote Services (Goals and Motivation).)
- 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.
User Interface (UI) concepts
- Navigation
- How to configure and use Riena's navigation model.
- Look&Feel
- 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.
