GridGain is a computational grid framework. Its goal is to improve general performance of processing intensive applications by splitting and parallelizing the workload. In many cases GridGain is used to achieve better overall throughput, better scalability or availability of services.
Following picture illustrates the basic idea behind processing grids:
The Security Annotation Framework (SAF) is an instance-level access control framework driven by Java 5 annotations. It can be easily integrated into Spring applications which primarily use the SAF to control access to their domain object instances. SAF security annotations define locations in the source code where the SAF shall perform permission checks at runtime. An annotation-driven approach to instance-level access control promotes the separation of an application’s security logic from its business logic. This significantly increases the testability and reusability of application components. It further allows the implementation of instance-level access control features into existing applications without modifying existing business logic.
About XStream
XStream is a simple library to serialize objects to XML and back again.
Features
* Ease of use. A high level facade is supplied that simplifies common use cases.
* No mappings required. Most objects can be serialized without need for specifying mappings.
* Performance. Speed and low memory footprint are a crucial part of the design, making it suitable for large object graphs or systems with high message throughput.
* Clean XML. No information is duplicated that can be obtained via reflection. This results in XML that is easier to read for humans and more compact than native Java serialization.
* Requires no modifications to objects. Serializes internal fields, including private and final. Supports non-public and inner classes. Classes are not required to have default constructor.
* Full object graph support. Duplicate references encountered in the object-model will be maintained. Supports circular references.
* Integrates with other XML APIs. By implementing an interface, XStream can serialize directly to/from any tree structure (not just XML).
* Customizable conversion strategies. Strategies can be registered allowing customization of how particular types are represented as XML.
* Error messages. When an exception occurs due to malformed XML, detailed diagnostics are provided to help isolate and fix the problem.
* Alternative output format. The modular design allows other output formats. XStream ships currently with JSON support and morphing.
jPersist is an extremely powerful, light-weight, object-relational database persistence API that manages to avoid the need for configuration and annotation; mapping is automatic. jPersist uses JDBC and can work with any relational database and any type of connection resource. jPersist uses information obtained from the database to handle mapping between the database and Java objects, so mapping configuration is not needed, and annotation is not needed, in fact there is no configuration needed at all.
