Although the implementation of the WebFlow proved to be very successful, we are not satisfied with this to the large extend custom solution |
Middle tier is based on a custom protocol implemented directly on top of URL and socket based interactions |
Not scalable (Uses multi-threading to support concurrency of user modules in middle-tier) |
Difficult to implement security features, fault tolerance, monitoring |
Impossible to take advantage of new technologies |
There is no flexibility to compose application |
Supports only data-flow model |
There is no persistent model( like with XML and java serialization) |
There is no way to copy and paste any user module running in a application |
