  • WebApi - Interface to browser features like Clipboard, Local Notifications and Payment Dialogs.

  • Auth - Provides a concept for authentication and authorization.

  • JPA - Allows easy programming with a relational database connection.

  • Reports - Allows easy inclusion of JasperReports reports.
