• An architectural implementation framework is a piece of software that acts as a bridge between a particular architectural style and a set of implementation technologies. It provides key elements of the architectural styles in code, in a way that assists developers in implementing systems that conform to the prescriptions and constraints of the style.
• Architectural implementation frameworks are a form of middleware. The difference between traditional middleware and architectural framework is the focus on architectural styles. Implementation frameworks are implemented specifically to support development in one or more architectural styles. Here the style is the primary artifact driving the implementation technology. Middleware is created based on services that are provided, generally without regard to the style of the application being developed.
