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.
