Apache Software Foundation Launches New Versions of Causeway Framework to Boost Rapid App Development

The Apache Software Foundation

WILMINGTON, DE — The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) announced the release of Apache Causeway versions 2.0 and 3.0 this week. Apache Causeway, an open-source Java framework, is celebrated for enabling quick development of maintainable domain-driven applications, marking a leap in enterprise software creation efficiency.

Jeremy Branham, a member of the Causeway community, praises the framework for its versatility across various projects, from constructing elaborate ERP systems to crafting government management applications. The shift towards utilizing Causeway for enterprise development at Savantly LLC, as highlighted by Branham, illustrates the framework’s capacity to replace major vendor Software as a Service (SaaS) subscriptions with custom modules, showcasing its substantial impact on enterprise software strategy.

The latest iterations, Causeway 2.0 and 3.0, are the culmination of over five years of collaborative community effort. These versions introduce the framework’s integration with Spring Boot, enhancing its utility by tapping into the extensive Spring ecosystem. This integration is poised to simplify adoption for Spring users, offering robust features including advanced security, auditing, and transaction management tools critical for modern application development.

Causeway 2.0 and 3.0 differ in their compatibility with Spring Boot versions and Java editions but share equivalent functionalities. Notable features include dynamic user interface generation based on the naked objects pattern, automated REST and GraphQL API creation, and comprehensive persistence support, further solidifying Causeway’s appeal to developers seeking a blend of speed and functionality in application development.

Improvements in the programming model, such as support for meta-annotations, mixin classes, and new scalar value types, promise enhanced flexibility and creativity in software design. Additionally, the support for Java record types in Causeway 3.0 underscores the framework’s commitment to evolving with contemporary programming standards.
