eCommerce

ProB2B is a framework to build sophisticated business to business ecommerce solutions. Object-relational mapping technology used to develop the framework makes it easy to run the final system using a broad spectrum of SQL databases. Our support includes Microsoft SQL, Oracle DB, but also MySQL, Postgresql and other opensource products.

Thanks to Apache Lucene full text searching is easy to accomplish. As it has no dependency to DB technology used it does not inherit it's limits or constraints.

When building ProB2B we were focused on ease of integration. Therefor we carefully separated view, model and business logic. The view part is easy to modify thanks to use of JSF and Facelets. Any changes in visual design are immediately visibile and there is no need to recompile anything. Business logic is based on industrial strength standards like EJB 3.0.

AJAX based interface is interactive. One can work with the application as it was regular GUI, not traditional web application. Changing one field in a form instantly updates other fields without reloading the page.

Major features of the solution are as follows:

• unlimited depth category system,
• multilanguage product and category descriptions,
• price tags to define unlimited pricing schemes,
• multiple categories per product,
• multiple baskets that can be persisted and forwarded,
• basket operations - create/clear/rename/merge/copy etc.,
• AJAX - native GUI interactivity,
• redefinable permissions,
• database vendor independence,
• database schema independence,
• ability to overlay the system on various ERPs with online DB access (ability to mach foreign DB schemes),
• integration with enterprise information systems over SOAP, JMS, etc.
