| <meta name="description" content="Apache Polygene™ is a community based effort exploring Composite Oriented Programming for domain centric application development. This includes evolved concepts from Aspect Oriented Programming, Dependency Injection and Domain Driven Design. |
| Composite Oriented Programming allows developers to work with 'fragments', smaller than classes, and 'compose' fragments into larger 'composites' which acts like the regular objects. Apache Polygene™ also tackles the enforcement of application composition, i.e. composites are declared in modules, modules are contained in layers and access between layers are controlled/enforced. |

| <h2 id="qi4j-sdk-release-20">Qi4j SDK Release 2.0</h2> |
| |
| <p>28 Apr 2013 - Montpellier/France & Shanghai/China - Qi4j Release 2.0</p> |
| |
| <p>After nearly 2 years of hard work, the Qi4j Community today launched |
| its second generation Composite Oriented Programming framework.</p> |
| |
| <p>Qi4j is Composite Oriented Programming for the Java platform. It is a |
| top-down approach to write business applications in a maintainable |
| and efficient manner. Qi4j let you focus on the business domain, |
| removing most impedance mismatches in software development, such as |
| object-relation mapping, overlapping concerns and testability.</p> |
| |
| <p>Qi4j’s main areas of excellence are its enforcement of application |
| layering and modularization, the typed and generic AOP approach, |
| affinity based dependency injection, persistence management, indexing |
| and query subsystems, but there are much more.</p> |
| |
| <p>The 2.0 release is practically a re-write of the entire runtime, |
| according to co-founder Niclas Hedhman; “Although we are breaking |
| compatibility in many select areas, most 1.4 applications can be |
| converted with relatively few changes.”. He continues; “These changes |
| are necessary for the next set of planned features, including full |
| Scala integration, the upcoming JDK8 and Event Sourcing integrated |
| into the persistence model.”</p> |
| |
| <p>“It has been a bumpy ride to get this release out the door.”, said |
| Paul Merlin, the 2.0 Release Manager, “but we are determined that |
| Qi4j represents the best technological platform for Java to create |
| applications with high business value.” |
| Not only has the community re-crafted a remarkable codebase, but also |
| created a brand new website, fully integrated with the new Gradle |
| build process.</p> |
| |
| <p>“The new website keeps the documentation in sync with the releases.”, |
| Paul added. “All the samples in documentation are actual code being |
| executed in our test suite. I am very proud of the work that has gone |
| into the new site.”</p> |
| |
| <p>We asked Niclas, “The community calls the Release 2.0 “Reductionism”. |
| What does that mean?”</p> |
| |
| <p>“We wanted to make all the necessary changes, which breaks |
| compatibility, as quickly as possible and get the leanest possible |
| Qi4j out the door. Many advanced features that are planned had to |
| wait. We simply wanted the base platform to be available first.”, |
| says Niclas on the topic.</p> |
| |
| <p>So what is really New?</p> |
| |
| <p>“Everything”, says Niclas. “For Qi4j Core, the most important change |
| is the introduction of functional paradigm in the internal runtime. |
| This creates cleaner code, and we’ll be able to leverage JDK8 very |
| effectively when it will be available. |
| The second big thing is to reduce the Qi4j Core and increase the |
| Extensions concept to more areas than persistence and indexing. We |
| have now added metrics and value serialization, others to come.”</p> |
| |
| <p>And what is Next?</p> |
| |
| <p>“Our main focus will be developper productivity. We have things such |
| as TimeSeries, Event Sourcing support in Core, easier Assembly of |
| Application Stacks in sight for future releases.We aim at constantly |
| enriching the whole SDK (libraries, extensions, samples and tools) |
| and its documentation. Another objective is to grow the core |
| community through more open participation.”, says Paul. “Yes, there |
| is much visionary work ahead.”, adds Niclas.</p> |
