3rd Party Libraries
FINcube works together with several 3rd party libraries that perform certain specialized tasks, such as delivering access to database management systems and creating and consuming web services. The next table gives an overview.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| ADOdb | 
Third party open source package containing components that shield off the specific details of particular database management systems through a common application programming interface. All of FINcube's components that deal with data persistency through databases use ADOdb. As a consequence FINcube applications can support and switch between many database management systems with minimum programming effort. |
| NuSOAP | Third party open source package containing components that support web services based on SOAP, WDSL and HTTP. Many of FINcube's base components have versions that are based on the web service paradigm, all of which use NuSOAP to create and consume web services. More info on NuSOAP here. |
| Phrame | 
Third party open source package containing components that support a Model-View-Controler architecture of web applications similar to Struts. All of FINcube's front end components are based on Phrame version 3, bringing all the advantages of using Struts to a FINcube application. |
