Incident Manager is built as an enterprise-grade client/server architecture with a collection of strong open source frameworks, mostly in the Java domain.

"Why are you using Java, is it safe?"
Incident Manager uses Java underneath its server-side platform. Java is trusted by the leading companies of the world for exactly that. Java is platform-independent, which means that there is endless deployment options available, e.g. for organizations running their own instance on-site. Recent security concerns stem from Java installations on end-user PCs, which is a technology that Incident Manager does not use. All that is needed on end-user PCs to work with Incident Manager is a web browser.

Architecture

The architecture of the system contains the following logical parts:

• Database: mainly used as a data store
• Data access layer: entities and data access objects
• Service: beans that take care of business logic
• REST servlet: beans that take care of exposing service methods over JSON REST interface
• Dynamic web page: application running inside user’s web browser
