ABOUT
=========================
OpenInteract2 is an extensible application server that includes
everything you need to quickly build robust applications. It includes:
* A robust system of components that can access your data just about
any way that you can think up and present the data in reusable
templates.
* A very flexible separation of presentation and data access: you can
use one template for accessing data from different sources using
one template (e.g., a listing of users from the system, from an
LDAP server, from an NT/SMB authentication controller, etc.) or you
can use one set of data to fill multiple templates.
* A convenient packaging system that makes it simple for developers
to distribute code, data schemas, configuration, initial data and
all other information necessary for an application. It also makes
the installation and upgrading processes very straightforward and
simple.
* A consistent security mechanism allowing you to control security
for users and groups not only at the task level, but also at the
individual data object level.
* A simple user and group-management system that allows users to
create their own accounts and an administrator to assign them to
one or more groups.
* An integrated, database-independent method for distributing data
necessary for a package. You should be able to install any package
on any database that's been tested with OpenInteract.
* The ability to deploy an OpenInteract2 application server as a
standalone service, inside an Apache/mod_perl server, or even
accessed as a CGI process. And it's easy to extend OI2 to use
additional interfaces.
