Structs:

• Define business data
• Are standard Java class declarations with only protected data members
• Class level javadoc tags describe what messages should be generated
• Field level javadoc tags describe each data member in detail

TOC

Messages generated from Structs:

The Update verb message is used for create, modify and delete operations.

TOC

Nodes:

• Define business processing modules
• Are standard Java class declarations with only protected data members
• Class level javadoc tags describe what messages are received and sent synchronously or asynchronously
• Field level javadoc tags describe each configuration parameter in detail

TOC

Input and Output from Nodes:

Every node instance has complete access to all of the information, and capabilities, available in the system. Overhead is on a "pay for what you use" basis, reliable caching is built in.

TOC

SAND RAD components:

SAND is based on fundamental application requirements, rather than on a particular technology. The result is a highly flexible basis with powerful capabilities.

TOC

Sample code generation:

From your structs and nodes, SAND RAD gives you a lot of immediate capabilities (items in blue are autogenerated or provided as part of the environment).

TOC

Powerful generators:

• Rapidly provide a high quality application foundation
• Provide for changes in technology with minimized impact to the application
• Enforce the consistent implementation of design patterns
• Give a clear, concise representation of the application from a variety of perspectives

TOC

Cross-context implementation:

Consistent implementation of patterns through code generation allows for cross-context system aspects to be addressed with confidence.

TOC

Clean system interfaces:

SAND provides structured interaction between application functions, and those primarily responsible for them, enabling better technology integration and higher level application logic.
