About JDAF
JDAF is a flexible and extensible framework that facilitates automated data updates, access and manipulation as well as model integration and intelligent execution. It provides a component architecture from which more sophisticated systems and processing pipelines can be built. Most of our models are written in C and C++ and they are interfaced with the framework using a wrapper and java native interface (JNI).
JDAF exposes services in two ways: through remote method invocation (RMI) using java facilities, and through WSDL descriptions and web services using Apache Axis and Tomcat.

An example of a system built using the JDAF framework can be found here.
