apache/causeway

Apache Causeway is a Java framework for building domain-driven applications by automatically generating web and RESTful UIs from domain models. It provides a comprehensive set of extensions for security, auditing, and data export, alongside support for multiple persistence backends including JPA, JDBC, and QueryDSL. The system also features a modular architecture with dedicated modules for rendering (Wicket, GraphQL, RESTful Objects) and value types (Markdown, Vega, AsciiDoc), all integrated via Spring Boot.

This period marks the comprehensive migration of the project from the legacy 'Isis' codebase to 'Apache Causeway' v2, involving a complete rebranding and restructuring of the repository. The work focused on modernizing the architecture by migrating to Spring Boot 4.x, adopting Java Platform Module System (JPMS) for better encapsulation, and replacing the outdated CVS version control with Git. Additionally, the documentation system was overhauled using Antora, and the codebase was refactored to support a modular, Spring-based runtime services layer.

This period focused on upgrading the framework to Spring Boot 4.x and Jakarta EE 10/11, refactoring core modules like transaction management and interaction scoping. It also involved extensive modularization of the codebase, introducing new persistence layers for security, logging, and value types, while adding features for Excel, PDF, and calendar rendering.

This period focused on introducing new capabilities for data access and API exposure, specifically adding a GraphQL viewer and QueryDSL support for JPA persistence. The team also expanded the tabular data export features to include Excel and PDF formats, while simultaneously refactoring the AsciidoctorJ integration and enhancing the Wicket and UI test coverage.
