Grouper Foundation Classes (GFC)

The GFC framework is a reusable and extensible foundation class library, on which and through which all future C&ER components (groupers, editors, ...) will be built, consisting of common framework and common business objects that support our primary grouper deliverables.

The GFC project addresses challenges like:

• Ensuring proper operation in SOA environment
• Modernizing grouper architecture (data handling, code architecture, interfacing, OO design)
• Optimizing performance (multi-threading, multi-processing capability, efficient architecture)
• Lowering maintenance cost
• Producing more reusable code
• Simplifying the code base
• Dependency management
• Inter-component dependency management
• Providing legacy compatibility
• Creating a more consistent design between our deliverables

Software Requirements

• Java 1.8 Runtime Environment or higher
• The latest distribution of Grouper Foundation Classes (GFC)

Base API

This project contains the very minimal classes and interfaces needed to implement a GFC component.
