Introduction
Background
To develop better enterprise web application we should follow some
design pattern or application architecture principal. One of them is N-tier
application architecture (Application Stacks).
The rise of N-tier application architecture make Software Frameworks
became popular and have variety of options in same layer/tier/service,
especially on Java open source technology.
Today, there are no Software Framework that fit all the requirements.
Each software frameworks have pros and cons also addressed specific
requirements.
These variety of options may lead to many technology adoptions,
maintenance headache, more non reusable software components, to
many knowledge base or programmer skill that need to be maintained,
etc.

5. Division 13 April 2018
Introduction (cont.)
Objective and Scope
We need to define standard N-tier application architecture (Application
Stacks) for in-house development, so we will has following benefits:
1. Increase reusable software components
2. Increase programmer productivity (focus on business logic)
3. Testing and maintenance easiness
4. Increase security and software quality
5. Increase time to market delivery
6. Increase cost efficiency
The standard will be focused on Java web based application

6. Division 13 April 2018
N-tier Application Architecture (Full Stack)
Definition
N-tier application
architecture provides a
model by which developers
can create flexible and
reusable applications.
By segregating an
application into tiers,
developers acquire the
option of modifying or
adding a specific layer,
instead of reworking the
entire application.
It also can address the
requirements on
performance, scalability,
and availability.

Java Presentation Framework Comparison
Presentation – Action Based Presentation – Component Based
The API clearly working on parsing and generating
HTML request-response
The API abstracting how to parse and generating
HTML request-response
Manual gather, convert and validate request
parameters and update the model values. Need to
write more (boilerplate) code yourself to achieve the
goal.
Automatic gather, convert and validate request
parameters and update the model values. Have less
fine grained control over the process and the
HTML/CSS/JS output.
Slow development compare to component based Fast development compare to action based
Doesn’t provide data binding mechanism Provide data binding mechanism
The developers must know Java and web
development (Javascript-Typescript, CSS, HTML)
The developers must known Java
Actions based framework is really good if you only
need to send and receive Http request and http
response (really useful in Ajax app)
Component based framework is really good if you
want to have a reusable components to be used by
many different projects
Suitable for complex and heavy UI Not suitable for complex and heavy UI, develop
custom UI may need customize the framework and
need web technology knowledge
UI logic and UI state is on client side UI logic and UI state is on server side
No specialized UI component ecosystem Strong community and COTS plug-in components
More scale and perform in comparison to
component based with same hardware specification.
Less scale and perform in comparison to action based
with same hardware specification. Higher load on
network and server (memory, processor).

CUBA License
CUBA Platform is distributed under Apache 2.0 - the most popular permissive open source license, which ensures the freedom to
use the platform and your applications for any purpose. The source code of the platform is available on GitHub.
Complementary RAD tools and additional modules intended to accelerate development are available in free and commercial
editions.
Free
Kick off your project with CUBA Studio
Studio makes project start very easy and helps to explore
platform features, hugely cutting the learning curve. The free
edition is fully functional and is only limited by up to 10 entities
in your application’s data model.
Continue in a Java IDE
CUBA applications can be developed without Studio purely in
a Java IDE, and the free CUBA plugin adds platform-specific
convenience features for working with code.
CommercialStarting at $139 per developer
Use advanced CUBA Studio features without limitations
Visual development, extensive code generation and hot deploy
save time on routine tasks.
Extend your application functionality with premium add-
ons
Add-ons include Reporting, BPM, Сharts&Maps, Full text
search and BI tools integration and can be added to your
application in just one click in CUBA Studio.
