JMatter

Home Page

Categories: RAD - Dev automation

Latest version: April 30 2009 Release
Added 2009-09-26

Framework for constructing workgroup business applications based on the Naked Objects architectural pattern.
The JMatter framework is an implementation of the Naked Objects pattern using Swing, Hibernate, and deployed with Java WebStart. JMatter produces 2-tier workgroup apps (Swing front-ends that talk to rdbms back-ends) intended to be used in a LAN or VPN environment. Developers using a Naked Objects style framework focus on building a behaviorally complete domain model and leave everything else (UI, persistence, etc) to the framework.

JMatter takes a domain model and then automatically provides the following services around the domain model:
- A GUI built on top of Swing with support for CRUD operations. The GUI is constructed dynamically at runtime from the introspected model.
- Persistence (by leveraging Hibernate)
- Authentication, the ability to login and to manage users.
- Built-in support for query construction, invocation and query persistence in GUI
- Support for the construction of wizards, calendaring (calendaring components), and more.
