An organization that develops and delivers software solutions needs to standardize on a set of engineering practices, delivery models and development frameworks in order to streamline its software development lifecycle. A uniform set of practices and engineering models results in increased productivity, predictable time-to-market and higher quality through deployment of reusable artifacts. Infusion provides the platform for better engineering of Java projects through collaborative practices, out-of-the-box framework components and a unifying development methodology.

Better Project Engineering through Infusion (Project Management Container)

Infusion comes bundled with a set of best practices for project engineering -

- build framework based on Maven 2.x archetypes
- a standard unit testing model based on TestNG
- container agnostic automated deployment to Java EE application servers
- IDE integration with Eclipse, NetBeans and IntelliJ
- support for Continuous Integration

Application Development Support in Infusion (Platform Runtime)

Infusion provides out-of-the-box reusable infrastructure components for various services like

- JDBC based persistence framework
- a generic Data Accessor Object (DAO) layer
- JMS based messaging components
- XML based processing utilities
- Web based query integration framework
- an application security module based on JAAS

Infusion also provides seamless integration with Spring along with an easy-to-use adaptor for Spring Context.

Infusion is Extensible (Platform Extensions)

Infusion is extensible - the rich set of components that Infusion provides can be extended through various composition mechanisms e.g. the Data Accessor Object layer that Infusion provides can be customized to use Hibernate components. As part of user interface modules, Infusion provides abstrcations which can be extended to develop rich JSF components.

The overall value proposition of Infusion lies in its streamlined programming model that integrates seamlessly with POJO based application frameworks and IoC containers. The value added services of Infusion, along with the set of published practices and artifacts have proved to deliver higher ROI for enterprise application development.
