assono Framework 2 is a great fundament for developing modern Notes client and Domino Web applications. It consists of a system of LotusScript classes, forms, views etc. which fulfill most non-functional requirements for applications thus you can concentrate on the specific requirements of your current project.



Some features are:

• base classes like BaseModel, BaseController, BaseViewController
  
• derived classes like MonitoringModel and BusinessModel
  
• relations between documents
  
• logged deletions with backups
  
• item-level history for documents
  
• keywords: values, lists and pairs; with defaults
  
• export any view to Microsoft Excel
  
• advanced error handling
  
• logging (local or central log db)
  
• context-sensitive help
  
• "Latest News" announcements
  
• serial numbers
  
• lots of utility classes and functions
  
  
  
  assono Framework is built using object-oriented LotusScript around the Model View Controller (MVC) pattern. Creating a new form involves creating the form itself ;-) and subclassing the a Model and a Controller class, defining such things as field constraints (mandatory, formats, ranges) or a field-level history.
  
  
  
  
  
  The framework is bi-lingual: English and German and allows to create mulit-langual applications.
