The cross platform application development adapted Spring framework to support front-end tendering services

Abstract

The world has gone mobile. As a result, it changes the people's mindset and preferences. People tend to choose smaller and compact devices due to its mobility and started to leave the desktops and laptops behind. For that reason, many companies have engaged in taking a further step to update their services to be accessible from these kinds of device as well. However, to absolutely dispose and replace the legacy system in short time seems inappropriate, therefore having cross-platforms applications will be the best solution. With the aim to bring more convenience to the tendering services offered by a construction industry, this paper proposes a cross-platform application development environment adapted Spring framework to secure a connection between two platforms; Android and Windows. The application is able to manage requests from the front-end; the android platform devices to the Web that runs on desktop. The system architecture, the framework implementation and the application design are then presented.
