Confidential application is a call centre portal based Rich UI application hosted on ALUI platform now Oracle Web Centre . Over the period the version of ALUI platform user, along the architecture is no longer supported by Oracle, thus forcing upgrade to new version, which in turn required complete redesign of application. At this point, the decision was thoroughly evaluated to basically totally move the application away from ALUI platform to a much lighter and cost effective Spring Tiles based architecture.The move to Spring Tiles architecture made iLEAD a vanilla j2ee application, bringing with it the multiple benefits like elimination of the extra portal layer, reduction in points of failure, easy future upgrades, efficient development with lighter third party components, to name a few.
