Abstract

The FlexiNet Platform is a Java middleware platform that features a component based internal structure with strong emphasis placed on reflection and introspection at all levels. This allows programmers to tailor the platform for a particular application domain or deployment scenario by assembling strongly typed components. In this paper we give an overview of the FlexiNet architecture, highlighting how its approach differs from other middleware architectures, and illustrate the benefits that result from the new approach.
