The Riena platform is the foundation 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.

Concepts and Features
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.

Remote Services
Remote Services in Riena are based on OSGi Services. So this Getting Started shows how standard OSGi Services can be first published as webservice endpoints and then second how they can be consumed by a client.

Riena Remote Services (Goals and Motivation)
Security
Security in Riena is JAAS based. That means you have Subject, Principal(s), LoginModule and Permissions. Just the standard Java objects from the JAAS packages. Riena adds the distribution aspect to it, so that a login on the client gets processed on the server. It also deals with make the current Subject (a container for Principals) available on client and in the server thread where remote service calls are processed.

ObjectTransaction
Object Transaction are a base technology to track changes in large object nets and minimize only changed properties between client and server after the initial load 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.
