Intranet Version

Legal Suite^® and Legal Business Doc^® software are designed to be installed on a N-Tier multiplatform. They can be accessed through a standard Internet browser, using thin clients.

Technical architecture:

Application server:
The central computer contains an application server on which runs the Legal Suite software.

Databases:
The Legal Suite software uses a database, which can be hosted on the same machine as the application server.

Client workstation:
The client workstations should conform to the standard office automation desktops and be equipped with an internet browser. Each workstation must have a connection to the existing Intranet network allowing access to the Legal Suite application.

Technical requirements are available by request.

Software architecture:
The Legal Suite software is designed to work in a multiplatform Intranet/Extranet environment using a thin client and respecting the J2EE’s standard.

MVC2 Pattern:
The Legal Suite is designed using the Model-view-controller 2 pattern

Model		the data and their logic is implemented in Java
View		JSP, JavaScript and CSS are used to build the user interface. Neither ActiveX nor permanent cookies are needed on the client side
Controller		a servlet receive the request and redirect it to the proper controller. Some processing may take part in the framework (form’s validation, data integrity, error management, internalization…)

Legal Suite is an N-tiers application. As mentioned above, the 3-tiers architecture is most commonly used.
