Collaborati was developed using the latest technology:

• Spring 2.0 was used to decouple the architecture.
• Spring MVC (model-view-controller) was used to implement the Collaborati view handling.
• Remoting Strategy: A customized Http-Invoker was used in Collaborati’s B2B remoting through Java Serialization.
• Persistenat Layer: Hibernate was used in the persistent layer to seamlessly store data in a Oracle or mySQL database.
• Maven 2.0.4 was used in a multi-project pom to build and test the Collaborati web application.
• Security: Acegi was used to implement security. Several Acegi controllers and filters were created to implement more robust password change handling and integrated user registration.
• AJAX was used in multiple screens using DWR and Prototype.
• Application Servers: Websphere CE was the target application server.

Below are several screes shots from the Collaborati web application.
