Flexess project provides an extensible security framework for Java applications. The name Flexess comes from: FLEXible accESS. Flexess is a component-based product, which adds to the application access management capabilities.
The solution allows to separate security aspects from the main application logic. The product provides the entire infrastructure starting from a tool, which allows creating an application security model to the administrative web application, which manages the assignments of the different access privileges to the users.
Main features:
- Security Modeling - Gives you possibility to create a model of the security features of the application. You can create a protected object Order, specify operations like "create", "read", "update", "delete" and provide constraints under which these operations are accessible.
- Role-Based Access Control - All the security aspects are modeled in terms of Users, Roles and Permissions.
- Parameterized Permissions - Permissions in Flexess are not strings, but can be parameterized with the attributes. For example, RegionalPermission has an attribute region and a constraint "Order.region=RegionalPermission .region". It means that this permission will be satisified, when the region attribute of Order matches the region attribute of the permission.
- Authorization - The minimal code can be done for authorization. To check if the user is authorized to create an order, you will need to invoke check(userId,order,"create").
- Authentication - Flexess provides an authentication module and can be integrated with existing authentication frameworks.
- Web Administration - Allows you to manage users, roles and permissions through the web interfaces.
- User Management - Maintains a database of users with customized user profiles.
Main components:
Security server - Server application to manage users, their roles, a centralized model storage.
Model designer - UI tool to create, edit the models and manage them on the server. Please note: Modeler requires the license. You can get EAP license after registration.
Client runtime - Runtime code to use in the client (business) application.
Enhancements:
- This release adds user list pagination support in SUM, and the ability to filter/search for users over UMI.
- The obfuscated dependency between client and server has been removed.
- The Java JCE update is avoided.
- The model is signed to prevent model corruption.

Savage is a masive multiplayer online RPG game.

In a primal and violent time eons from now, nomadic humans roamed the earth in a never ending struggle to survive. The beasts and creatures suffered mightily at the cruel hand of man as the land was stripped clean by human scavengers and natural resources were consumed with abandon. It was a time of hunger, disease, and death for mankind as science and other knowledge remained untapped ancient secrets. Humanity was fragmented into isolated tribes led by vicious and petty war chiefs.

This was also a time of evolution and growth for the creatures of the world. They developed an intelligence equal to that of humankind and formed communities and packs in a new social order. Continuously subjected to humanitys cruelties and deprivations, a deep-seated hatred of humanity was forever instilled within them.

Life on our planet, now known as Newerth (New Earth), became a daily struggle between man and beast for the basic natural resources that nurtured life for them both. Ongoing skirmishes over food, precious metals and even simple building blocks of stone escalated to the point that both sides became threatened with extinction. Humanitys isolated tribes, at times united under various war chiefs, remained so fragmented that their very existence was in question. The beasts and creatures also failed to unite in a common cause and continued to fight for their lives individually.

Out of this chaos arose a warrior of unmatched ability and leadership. His name was Jaraziah Grimm, son of the legendary brutal warlord, Harrin Grimm. Following the mysterious disappearance of his father, Jaraziah boldly reorganized the remaining nomadic tribes under a single banner called the Legion of Man. He created the Protocols of Grimm, laws which proclaimed man superior to the beasts and creatures of the world. He excelled in his new role as a leader and human commander. Under his banner and the Protocols of Grimm, he created a revolution of thought as well as military power. Through his influence, the human clans embraced common goals, such as the development of scientific knowledge and rekindling the lost art of warfare to regain their rightful place of dominance in Newerth.

During this time, the Legion of Man discovered ancient secrets of science and war and quickly applied them to engineering weapons of warfare. Long forgotten knowledge of chemistry, electricity and magnetism resurfaced and ushered in a whole new understanding of science. Jaraziahs leadership, coupled with scientific advances, began an era of unprecedented success for the Legion of Man against the beast race. Victory followed victory as the Legions influence was expanded dramatically. The Legion of Mans future as the dominant power on Newerth seemed assured.

Jaraziahs youngest sister, Ophelia, was a mere child during the renaissance of the Legion of Man. Even at an early age, she was unlike any legionnaire. Ophelia found peace in the outdoors amongst the untamed creatures of the wilderness. She discovered that she had a special gift with animals, an ability to communicate with even the most vicious of beasts. She was at first shocked at her special talent but soon enough learned to use it. Flower buds opened at her touch; even the most powerful beast was calmed by her presence and beasts would howl when she waved goodbye to them.

Her gift was clearly supernatural and she successfully hid it from her brother and the rest of the Legion of Man. However, she felt very strongly about the open conflict between man and the beasts. Even as a young child, she openly debated with Jaraziah time and again about her belief that beasts and man could and should live together. Through tiring and seemingly endless confrontations, brother and sister grew further and further apart. Eventually Ophelia was ostracized from the Legion. She was secluded in her parents home, hidden away as an embarrassment to the Legion and Jaraziah, living as a prisoner.

Then one night, under a star-framed moon, a tiny beast creature wandered into the middle of the settlement. Not knowing the risk it was taking, the young pup was there to return a flower that had fallen from Ophelias hair the day before when she was in the forest. A Legionnaire spotted the young beast and an alarm was raised. To her horror, the cowering, harmless creature was cornered and brutally slaughtered. Ophelia, gripped with the true horror of what her life had become, was unable to remove the memory of that night and the years of beast bloodshed from her mind. Her hatred for what had become of her people and her brother corrupted her soul. Like her father before her, she lost track of what is good in humanity.

Nightmare and reality blurred; the days turned to nights until her torment finally ended. In a waking dream, she determined that it was time for her to escape from the Legion of Man. She spoke to the song birds outside her window and with their help and with the help of nearby creatures; she did indeed escape into the wilderness. She completely disappeared from the Legion of Man.

Ten years passed. The renaissance of the Legion continued unabated. However, new and disturbing reports from the borderlands began to come in. They said that the beasts of the world were reuniting against the humans. A new horde of creatures was organizing under a mysterious and powerful leader. Some of the creatures were similar to the ones that they had fought and killed before, yet new and strange, and seemingly more intelligent and far more deadly than in the past. This new Beast Race had learned the ways of human warfare and was making a formidable new army.

Reports further came in that the beasts were developing their own form of science that was unlike anything ever seen before, which human scholars could only describe in the old tongue as "magic". Now the Beast Horde had crossed the human borders and was raiding and annihilating isolated settlements. There had been sightings of a human woman, proclaimed as the Beast Queen, leading the new armys successes.

A waning moon heralded change and Jaraziah realized that a new savage age is dawning. It became clear under a blood red sky that the renaissance of the Legion of Man had ended and the days of uncontested human domination of the world were over.

BordersHelper can remove the black border from scanned documents.

Black border removal is a feature of document management software that automatically removes the black edges of a document that has been digitally scanned. Black border edges can cause problems with optical character recognition (OCR) software.

The document structure analysis and character recognition are usually done in several phases:
scanning

thresholding
skew detection and correction
despeckle or speckle removal
line removal
border removal
detection of preprinted elements (like boxes, rakes or combs)
page orientation detection and correction
layout analysis
classification
character recognition

Each step must be completed well enough for the performance of the sequence and result to be successful. Steps that follow the border removal are inefficient if the correction fails.

BordersHelper uses an algorithm based on Flood Fill, Component Labelling, and Region Adjacency Graphs. It removes noisy borders in monochromatic images of documents introduced by the digitalization process using automatically fed scanners.

BordersHelper expects as input a monochrome image.
