摘要

Rich Internet Application (RIA) has become popular as it combines the power of desktop interface with the manageability of a browser based application. However the focus of most of the RIA initiatives is to make existing web pages more interactive. On the other hand enterprise application also require features which are related to presentation of complex data structure, the ability to manipulate the same, integration with the business layer apart from providing desktop like functionality. In this paper, we outline an RIA framework which is designed for building enterprise applications. This is a client side framework, which is expected to work in conjunction with services. It uses the request response model of interaction with services as the only method of communication with the server. Case study of using the framework in one application is also briefly covered.
