Architecture

• Java was chosen to allow for cross-platform deployment and the option to freely distribute the entire project.
• Here are some reasons why Seam was chosen http://www.seamframework.org/Home/WhySeam

The EDAS2 application is currently integrated with the free, Open Source CGI Node2 for bi-directional sharing of WQX version 1 XML. Organizations with EDAS2 implemented alongside this second-generation node will be able to share data with any other organization with a similar implementation.
