Modular Web Platform with Hierarchical MVC Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The MVC paradigm faces scalability limitations in web application development, necessitating a more efficient framework for organizing and managing web development processes.
Innovation Solution
A modular web platform is introduced, comprising a Core layer for core operational functionalities, a Ket layer for business logic, and an Application layer for display logic, with unidirectional API communication between layers to facilitate scalable web application development and deployment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the MVC paradigm is used for web application development, then the development process is simplified with clear separation of concerns, but the system faces scalability limitations when the application grows in complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the web application framework into multiple hierarchical MVC triads (parent and child MVCs), where each MVC is further segmented into distinct bundles (toolbox bundles for core functionality, vendor bundles for application-specific logic). This hierarchical segmentation allows the system to maintain the simplicity of individual MVC units while achieving scalability through composition of multiple MVCs in a tree structure.
2Stability of the object's composition
If a monolithic web application structure is used, then the application can be deployed as a single unit, but the system lacks flexibility for modular development and deployment across multiple environments
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the monolithic application into independent, hierarchical MVC triads that can be developed, tested, and deployed separately. Each MVC triad represents a functional module that can be independently managed, allowing the system to achieve both modular flexibility and stable deployment through the hierarchical composition of these segments.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal hierarchical MVC framework where parent and child MVCs can serve multiple functions - they can be independently deployed to different environments, combined in various configurations, and reused across different applications. This multi-functionality allows the same framework structure to support both unified deployment and modular development scenarios.
3Adaptability or versatility
If all developers can modify any code in the web application, then the application is highly flexible and adaptable, but security risks increase and code quality control becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different access permissions to different code regions within the hierarchical MVC structure. Toolbox bundles (containing core framework code) have restricted access limited to kernel developers, while vendor bundles (application-specific code) are accessible to application developers. This localized quality control maintains security and code quality while preserving flexibility within authorized boundaries.
