Recently we migrated from Backbase based portal to Spring MVC based portal for our kiosk transaction system. This will evolve as Offline system (see davids post on this here).

We mainly used Spring to build this offline system because it’s lightweight, easy to use, easy to test and it allows to configure and compose complex application from simpler components.

Here is the technology stack which we are using to build this offline system

• Spring MVC: Part of spring and MVC  based Framework for building robust web applications

• Spring Webflow: Built on Spring MVC and provides the infrastructure for building and running rich web application.

• JQuery: Fast and concise JavaScript Library that simplifies HTML document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions for rapid web development.

• Blueprintcss: CSS framework which aims to cut down on your development time.

• JMesa: Dynamic HTML table rendering API/Tag library that allows you to filter, sort, paginate, export and edit your data however you need to.

• Sitemesh: Web-page layout and decoration framework and web-application integration framework to aid in creating large sites consisting of many pages for which a consistent look/feel, navigation and layout scheme is required.

• Hibernate: Powerful, high performance object/relational persistence and query service.

• Maven: Software project build and  management tool.

• MySQL: Most popular open source database.

• SpringSource ToolSuite: Eclipse-powered development environment for building Spring-powered enterprise applications.
