Granite Data Services

Granite Data Services (GraniteDS or GDS) is a comprehensive development and integration solution for building Flex / JavaEE RIA applications. The entire framework is open-source and released under the LGPL v2 license.

It features:

  • A client development framework (Tide) that brings familiar JavaEE concepts to the Flex side: dependency injection, context management, authentication and secured access, bean validation, etc.
  • A comprehensive integration with major JavaEE application servers, frameworks and JPA engines: JBoss, GlassFish, WebLogic, WebSphere, Tomcat and Jetty; Hibernate, EclipseLink, OpenJPA and DataNucleus.
  • An efficient real-time module (Gravity), based on Comet implementations, allowing scalable data-push.
  • Code generation tools (Gas3) that help in replicating Java entity beans and services into their ActionScript3 equivalent. These tools are available as an Eclipse plug-in or an Ant task.
  • Simplified configuration and high performances for critical deployments: most of the configuration is automated by scanning deployment environments and standard libraries are optimized for scalability.

Famous quotes containing the words granite, data and/or services:

    “I make myself this time
    Of wood or granite or lime
    A wall too hard for crime
    Either to breach or climb....”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Mental health data from the 1950’s on middle-aged women showed them to be a particularly distressed group, vulnerable to depression and feelings of uselessness. This isn’t surprising. If society tells you that your main role is to be attractive to men and you are getting crow’s feet, and to be a mother to children and yours are leaving home, no wonder you are distressed.”
    —Grace Baruch (20th century)

    “True love ennobles and dignifies the material labors of life; and homely services rendered for love’s sake have in them a poetry that is immortal.”
    —Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)
