Managing and operating on hierarchical data structures is an issue in many projects, alongside with security concerns, internationalization, versioning and querying. To date neither open nor closed source projects or frameworks offer possibilities to dynamically define and manipulate the structure of hierarchical data in a scope like [fleXive] does. Hence the urge to provide a solution that combines flexibility, security and performance in one customizable package.
[fleXive] doesn't try to reinvent the wheel but focuses on its core tasks. What it aims to do is providing you - the developer and/or architect of an enterprise application - with means to achieve these goals faster and more cost effective. [fleXive] concentrates on enterprise-scale content modeling, storage and retrieval, and includes comprehensive JSF support for displaying and manipulating these contents in (web) applications. The runtime environment can be included in existing Java EE applications, but you can also build new applications and package them into stand-alone Java EE applications.
