NCBO-OOR Server-Side Customization

Introduction

The NCBO-OOR provides server-side flexibility by leveraging the enterprise pattern of "Dependency Injection." This is accomplished by applying the Spring technology which enables a partner to insert any software implementation that abides to the NCBO-defined interfaces purely by configuration. In other words, a different implementation can be deployed without a recompile or rebuild of the entire NCBO-OOR code-base.

This first NCBO-OOR implemntation is based on the BioPortal architecture and code-base. Thus, the majority of the developer considerations for NCBO-OOR is generally applicable to the BioPortal (and vice-versa). The author will note differences where appropriate.
