Abstract :
A secure mobile web framework is proposed based on MVC Struts 2 to support embedded browsers in mobile devices. The framework integrates JAAS with Tomcat providing Authentication and Authorization. Encryption Utility to support multiple providers, implementing a scheme for short-lived session objects, support for the menu items using xml configuration depending on the role and device category, view layer integration with Tiles 2 and rendering views for both desktop and mobile without duplicating the Struts 2 control action logic. Finally, an Electronic Medical Record - web application is designed and implemented for Dialysis Center to further demonstrate the feasibility of the unified secure mobile web framework.
