7. Flexible RIB Development Strategy
So in reviewing future directions for RIB we find a strategy involving the combination of two approaches
Firstly we need to update technology implementation of RIB while we add requested functionality's
- Add a database back end
- However probably should use modern and cheaper JDBC solution and not MOREplus.
- Remember using JDBC does Not require use of client side Java code as in 3 tier model Java code is on Server
- Signed applets should make client use of Java less problematic
This RIB technology evolution will be performed in context of an architecture that incorporates future changes coming from commercial software industry and from growing use of distributed object (CORBA) technology.
Note OSTP is about to start a new “Advanced Distributed Learning” ADL initiative based on distributed objects
- Should be synergistic with educational resource part of NHSE
