Toward a business-oriented billing framework with JavaBeans#8482;

摘要

This work is a specification for an enterprise framework, to satisfy billing goals with a concrete division of labor among IT specialists and business analysts. It covers three main aspects: a complete business environment, modeled by IT developers with JavaBeans TM Component API: a billing rule editor for business analysts (without technical knowledge): and finally an engine which translates billing rules in "ready-to-be-used" Java classes, to be instanced during billing process.The benefit this work will try to offer is independence for business drivers: their decisions will never be subjected to software development delays. This is a key factor in highly competitive commercial environments. (1147 words)
