Glue and Booster |
| Description |
The 'Glue and Booster' project tries to be the glue between
different (java) frameworks and will provide additional
utilities to boost the power of the frameworks. It will provide
easy to use facades which hide some of the complexity of the
frameworks. Furthermore it will provide examples and ready to
use templates with most of the configuration already done. This
project has two main goals, two secondary goals and one
meta-goal: 1.) Try to make the different frameworks "plug and
playable". Take two frameworks, probably implement two simple
interfaces and "Glue and Booster" will connect the frameworks.
2.) Provide implementations for additional features of some
frameworks. These features may be missing simple factory methods
that hide the complexity of the framework or real enhancements.
Like a LogFactory for commons-logging and log4j that will
provide FileAppender that write into different files (for
example each transaction into one file) but are configured like
the default FileAppender. This goal intents to present ready to
use solutions. Maybe the code of the methods will only be some
lines, but it will often take hours to find which lines to
write. 3.) For the first goal the intention is to find suitable
frameworks that contain the interfaces for the glue. Only when
no fitting frameworks are found, then own interfaces are
written. 4.) For some frameworks the glue interfaces will be
implemented, too, so that these frameworks can be connected
without effort. 5.) The meta-goal is, to write as few code as
possible, but to put as much knowledge (and the time it needs to
collect the knowlege) as possible into this framework. In this
point this framework differs from other frameworks. It's goal is
not to write a solution for one special problem or build a huge
framework but trying to find tiny pieces of code that bridge the
gap between frameworks or the gap between the requirements of
the programmer and the functionality of the framework. |
