Vine Toolkit : features



A modular and extensible Java/Flex based
framework,
integration with different portal frameworks,
including well known web products like
Gridsphere, Liferay,
advanced BlazeDs data services improve the
client-server communication to develop highly
interactive and dynamic web applications,

Vine Toolkit : features



Adobe Flex/Flash technology allows creating
advanced and sophisticated web interfaces
similar to many stand-alone GUIs,
uniform common API exposed to the end user
which abstracts various middleware
implementations,
generic resource based model - any services
and data sources can be integrated with web
applications using high-level APIs.
