What's in the Pipeline

Enhancing The Widgets...

We're developing some new variations of the Table and Grid widget will allow the user to customize there view, and keep it for next time.

Enterprise Strength Data Security...

We are developing a data security layer in the Data Tier (currently with Oracle 9i) that will allow control of row level visibility. In a web deployment security data based on a user credentials is normally an assumed capability, but programmatically implementing this in you data access code is not always the best solution when you have other systems in your environment interfaces directly with the data sources.

Documenting Like Crazy...

Documentation is essential for any framework, especially one that is to be used by the Open Source community. The JAFFA team is working away on producing volumes of guides and how-to documents to make the framework easy to get started with

Sample Application...

Along with the documentation, and in addition to all the unit tests and test rigs within the project, we will be working on building a reference application (Probably not a Pet Store!) so you can see the framework in action.

Patterns / Code Generator...

This is a very exciting part of the project, and will be a key focus for the team in the next 3 months. Read our documentation section to find out how this key feature will be used to kick start the development of any Web application.
