XUM for Enterprise applications
If you try to describe an Enterprise application by one word, then this word is “MANY”.
This application includes many Modules, many Forms, many Reports, this application implements many Business processes, this application is used by many Active Concurrent Ysers.
XUM provides:
- application server performance: 50 Users per 1 Core CPU
- scaling the Application Server and a large number of Concurrent Users (1000+)
- using Xafari Report Server and Calculation Server
- a large number of Forms (1000+)
- comfortable work with complex form with a large number of Editors
- comfortable work with a large number of Items in the Main Menu (100+)
The 3-tier Application
Key Features of XUM 3-tier application:
- High performance of the Application Server - up to 50 concurrent users on Core CPU
- Cross-platform application - Linux and Windows (Astra Linux, Ubuntu)
- Support for the most popular web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Edge, Yandex, Atom)
- Merge several XAF applications on common Web-portal
- Single sign-on, SSO, through OAuth 2.0 support:
- own OAuth server (embedded OAuth server)
- uses external services: Facebook, Google, Yandex and so on
- uses Windows authentication (Kerberos)
- Open API for connecting arbitrary non-XAF applications
- Use third-party JS components (DevExtreme, KendoUI, ...) to implement UI primitives
How XUM-application works on client
Client Xum-application has the same concept as standard XAF-application and consists of Frames/Windows, View/ViewItem, Controllers и Templates/Controls.
XUM-application working has key features:
- Client application works with server throw two channels:
- The metadata channel provides for getting and storing metadata about types, Views, and images in the local client cache.
- The data exchange channel is used when the user is working with the application. The states of objects are transferred and controller actions are performed through this channel.
- The metadata is downloaded to the client as needed and stored in the browser's local storage. The metadata is reloaded only after the local storage is cleared or the application version is changed.
- XUM-application works in statefull mode. At the same time, several independent connections can be created for each connected user.
- Most XAF-application controllers execute on the server, and data about changes in their behavior and state is transferred to the client. Some system controllers are fully implemented on the client and provide the work of the client XUM-application.
Templates/Controls/Editor use the
EasyTest technology is supported 100%
XUM includes modules to support EasyTest.
This solution is 100% compatible with similar Win-modules XAF.
So, a Test Script written for a Win application can be used for the XUM version of this application. The converse is also true.
Themes
XUM application provides the ability to choose different Themes depending on End-User preferences - Light / Dark, Generic / Compact.
Also custom Theme can be designed and added to application.
Localization
XUM app is fully integrated with XAF localization technology. So, the application is localized in all available ways for XAF - Localizers, Model Application. Also, localization can be done using the “Xafari ModelDesigner” technology.
By default, XUM application uses the local settings used for the browser. But the user can choose a different way of localization.
