What is KRAD? • A framework for developing screens and applications quickly for Kuali software. • Built with implementations in mind. • An evolving architecture instead of a dead or dying one. • Based on new technologies (JQuery, AngularJS, Twitter Bootstrap, Freemarker, Spring MVC, etc…) • Intended for developers and coders to build applications without a graphic designer/web developer. • Intended to solve problems created by the legacy stack (KNS) like excessive configuration. • A new software development paradigm that

KRAD vs. KNS • KNS is the legacy system that is part of Rice 1.x. • KNS came from KFS • KNS uses struts 1.x, Spring, OJB, and JSP/JSTL • KRAD doesn’t require writing any HTML • KRAD uses Spring MVC instead of Struts which requires far less configuration and java classes. • KRAD uses a custom view resolver that allows the use of Tiles and Freemarker templates to render HTML from beans stored in Spring.
