Project Experience with Acegi Security, Spring MVC and Oracle MapViewer
For a customer with an interesting business we had to build a web application that has a RIA front end, displays data on maps, authenticates thru a web service that is connected with a back office customer subscription system, and that can handle any kind of data (for example shops, garages or whatever) as long as it conforms to a certain format. Depending on the specific dataset the application is configured in a different way and behaves differently. I call it a meta data driven application.
Anyway, taken all these aspects together, the building process has been an exciting adventure. From all frameworks we took the latest versions, and came up with the following tech stack: Spring 2.0, Acegi Security System 1.0, Dojo Javascript toolkit, Oracle (Ajax based) MapViewer 10.1.3.1 (released a month ago!) and Oracle 10g database. Spring formed the ecosystem for our application in which we plugged the Javascript presentation layer at the front end, and the unbreakable Oracle database at the back end. In the same container the Oracle MapViewer application is running. Ajax calls are made from the main application to mapViewer server in order to manage map standard behavior like panning More >
Meta Data Driven User Interface with Dojo and Spring MVC
What I mean with a meta data driven user interface is an application whose appearance and behavior is managed by a special set of data that is stored in a database and that is linked to attributes of the user. For instance the organization to which the user belongs has a contract whith the web application provider that enables the user to get certain types of information and disables other types. Therefore, a user interface widget, as for example a tree, should display nodes according to the set meta data that is connected to this user. Question is now how set up this stuff using Dojo for the presentation layer and Spring for the server side?
