Editing Compiere (section)

==Architecture==

Compiere is a [[Model Driven Architecture]] development, deployment and maintenance framework designed with the intention of following changes as business evolves. At any time, customers can change the information structure, adjusting to new information needs. Compiere provides multiple views of business information based on the detail of the actual transactions. This structure allows flexibility and integration of supplemental external information. And since information is presented as views (using Compiere's [[Model-view-controller|MVC]] architecture), they can be changed to meet the needs of the business. Compiere is entirely based on the concept of ''Active Data Dictionary'' (ADD). Compiere ''[[Data Dictionary]]'' contains definitions of a data entity (type, validation, etc.), how it is displayed (label on screens and reports, help, display sequence and position relative to other fields), and the display rules. It also contains security and access rules.

Compiere has been developed with [[Java Platform, Enterprise Edition|Java EE]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Red Hat Application Development I: Programming in Java EE {{!}} AD183 |url=https://www.redhat.com/en/services/training/ad183-red-hat-application-development-i-programming-java-ee |access-date=2022-07-06 |website=www.redhat.com |language=en}}</ref>
