Enterprise Client Parts

CaptainCasa Enterprise Client consists out of two parts:

The browser side is a generic rendering engine, internally being based on HTML/JavaScript. It renders application dialog definitions that are sent from the server side and collects corresponding user input to be processed on server-side. The rendering engine comes with a huge set of graphical controls – and can be easily extended. From topology point of view the rendering client is a Single Page Application (SPA) – i.e. a “pure JavaScript program” running in the browser.

The server side, in which you place the interaction processing of your application, is pure and simple Java processing. It runs in any JEE-Servlet-based environment (Tomcat, Spring Boot, JBoss, …). Dialogs can be defined statically (XML definition) or dynamically (by Java program). Dialogs are simple Java programs and can be nested and re-used flexibly.

A comprehensive set of tools is supporting the development: a Layout Editor for WYSIWYG-editing dialog definitions, a code generator for doing the “boring coding”, a literal manager for defining and translating literal texts, a hot deployment center for continuous development – and many tools more. The actual Java-development is done in the IDE of you choice (Eclipse, IntelliJ, NetBeans, …).
