Emersion Platform Overview

Currently Platform is developing as Web Applications Integration Platform. That means that you, as web applications developer, may deploy your standard JSP/Servlet applications as plug-ins into the Platform.

Base plug-ins

For now "core" plug-ins that form Platform technical basis are:

org.emersion.platform
Platform Application "entry point" plug-in. It handles Platform initializing and start up.
org.emersion.platform.webserver
"Web Server Application" plug-in - the server-side application that is actually running when Platform gets started.
org.apache.tomcat
The Apache Jakarta Tomcat 5.5 wrapper plug-in. This is actually JSP/Servlet container embedded into Platform.
org.emersion.platform.webserver.tomcat
"Glue" or "adapter" style plug-in to run Tomcat in embedded mode within Platform.
org.apache.struts
The Apache Struts Web Application Framework wrapper plug-in.
org.emersion.workplace
Platform Workplace base plug-in.
