The paper presents an approach for the rapid distributed application development, based on the separation of business-logic programming and system-level mechanisms. The proposed approach is supported by specially developed software, the iJaNet Framework, which is itself built upon Sun Enterprise Java and Microsoft .NET technologies. The paper shows that using the proposed methods and software it is possible to adopt distributed application development in a very short time, which may become a strong factor of the market strategy during the current financial crisis for small integrator companies.
In the end of the paper two successful use-cases are presented and the benefit of using the iJaNet Framework in these projects is analyzed.
