J2EE Architecture

Clearspace leverages the solid J2EE framework for much of the core aspects of the application. Beyond that, Clearspace benefits from the rich ecosystem of 3rd party and open-source libraries supported in Java. Because Clearspace adheres to these standards it is able to run on a variety of application servers and platforms. For more information on supported platforms please.

Scalable and Fault-Tolerant

The server-side Java environment and extensive caching make Clearspace extremely fast. Support for clustering based on the market-leading Coherence technology means the application can be deployed on multiple servers for scalability and fault-tolerance.

Secure

Jive Software's applications have been proven secure by thousands of customer installations. The administration console includes role-based access rights, and permission checking is done at the Java method level to guarantee that users only have access to the content they should.
