Development of a new proposals system

The application is to be used by various sites within Germany. A web application based on Java EE combined with Java Server Faces was therefore chosen as the architecture model. Sun's GlassFish is used as the application server. This is the first time these technologies are being used in this company. A significant part of the project therefore involves planning and introducing a suitable development and operating environment. One boundary condition for the project is the requirement to enable simple and quick enhancement of the range of insurance products offered by the application. A further consideration is the need for dynamic user interfaces whose content depends directly on the values entered into the screens. This implies implementing many dynamic screens whose structure can be preconfigured by means of tables and whose appearance is also controlled by a configurable rule value in real time.
