The OpenROAD Server lets you write new applications that expose business logic using a language-neutral interface. Also, you can re-engineer existing OpenROAD applications so that the business logic is recovered and exposed using this interface. By using object factory methodology in the re-engineering effort, you can recover a substantial portion of the user interface and the business logic when partitioning an application.

Object factory methodology allows the re-engineering of an application to create a fat client/fat server partitioned application.
