Technology Expertise

Java / J2EE

Database-driven solutions have given new approaches to effective business information management due to the flexibility of data retrieval, storage and manipulation processes that they provide. LinkEdge Technologies expertise is in client-server and web-based applications development process, by employing the data structuring and processing advantages that databases grant, to our clients, with efficient and scalable solutions. LinkEdge Technologies has vast experiences with the following databases: MySQL, MS-SQL 2000/2005, Oracle 8i/9i/10g/11g, DB2, Sybase, PostgreSQL, MS Access.

LinkEdge Technologies follows the following Database design and modeling process:

Presentation Technologies

• JSP, Servlets – The most basic of web-technologies such as JSP, Servlets form the core in many of our projects.
• Web Frameworks – We have expertise in applying many of the proven and latest web frameworks such as Struts, Tiles, Tapestry, Velocity and JSF, Jboss RichFaces, JBoss Seams, IceFaces etc. to various solutions/products being developed by us.

Middle Tier Technologies

• EJB – We have developed a vast number of applications that use different types of Enterprise Java Beans viz. Session Beans, Entity Beans and Message Driven Beans. The EJB usage allows applications to be deployed in a distributed environment.
• Web Services – We have used Web Services very successfully to provide sleek integration interfaces in many assignments for our clients. The Web Service middle tier technology has enabled us to make various technically distinct softwares to communicate with each other.
• Spring Framework – We have used many features offered by Spring Framework in many of our applications. For example, Inversion of Control (IoC) feature is one of the most widely used for loose-coupling of modules within an application.
• ORM Frameworks – We have a lot of experience in delivering projects using ORM framework for data access. We have used Hibernate, iBatis and TopLink extensively in our projects among others.
• Communication Technologies – Most of the Java-based projects use various middle-layer communication mechanisms like Java Message Service (JMS), XML-RPC, JMX (Java Management Extension), JNDI, RMI etc.

Data Technologies

• Databases – We have expertise on almost all the major databases like Oracle, My-SQL, MS-SQL, Postgres etc. We have delivered high-performant applications involving large amount of data and reporting capabilities.
• XML-DB – Some of our projects involve large amount of XML-data storage and retrieval. For this, we have used the capabilities of Oracle XML-DB.
• JDBC – JDBC, being one of the most basic data access technologies, forms one of the standard approaches to access the database in many of our projects. We have delivered complex database applications which use JDBC extensively.
