Glossary

C

Core

Pustefix runtime. Java code for servlets, workflow, and editor and the basic configuration used by projects.

E

Editor

Modifies projects in a web browser. The editor is itself a project which is part of the core.

Environment

Pustefix SDK. What you install to develop your own projects with pustefix. Includes core, editor, and the basic structure. Caution: The respective download is called "pfixcore-skel-<VERSION>.tar.gz", which stands for "skeleton", because it contains everything in the correct layout of directories to start a new environement, but is missing the flesh, i.e. your private application code.

P

Project

A web application that uses pustefix core. Projects reside in the projects directory (when starting with a skeleton environment as it can be downloaded from sourceforge - the CVS checkout itself uses the examples directory). A single environment hosts an arbitray number of projects. The term application is sometimes used as a synonym. Caution: the following directories in the projects directory do not hold projects: common, core, servletconf.

Pfixcore

The SVN module that implements the framework.

Pustefix

Denotes either framework, core, or environment, depending on the context.
