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.
