App Infrastructure Frame

Jun 1, 2008 by JD

When you build LOB (line-of-business) applications, there’s a recurring set of technical challenges  To organize this set of challenges, I created the Application Infrastructure Frame.

Key Categories

The App Infra Frame includes the following categories:

  • Authentication
  • Authorization
  • Caching
  • Data Access
  • Exception Management
  • Logging
  • Validation

As simple as it looks, I’ve found it helpful for analyzing applications.  If you’re familiar with patterns & practices Enterprise Library, you’ll notice that the application blocks in Enterprise Library map to the Application Infrastructure Frame.
