Nested Web Application Components Framework - A Comparison to Competing Software Component Models

Svebor Prstačić, Mario Žagar

2013

Abstract

There are many approaches and component models for Web application component development, of varying complexity, for different platforms using different technologies. All of which have a common problem – constrained component reusability. In this article, we summarize common software component reusability shortcomings of the most popular frameworks and component models they provide, and compare against the solution our own approach “framework as a component” provides to improve reusability.
