MAST stands for Module Advanced Setup Tool: once a module has been developed, it has to be integrated into the SOClass™ Application Server in order to become available.
The MAST tool integrates the jar files, composing a module, making sure that during the integration all the declared dependencies of this module will respect the integrity of the server. This process highly increases the global security of the system, as it avoids application developers’ errors to propagate to the server.
The MAST tool is also responsible for the database tables creation and population based on creation and insertion XML files of the module.
