The lack of knowledge of the exact energy profile of the Free Electron Laser in Hamburg (FLASH) and thereby of the orbit response matrix, made the implementation of a conventional orbit feedback in the past very difficult. The new run period started this spring after extensive modifications of the facility, showed that the responses matrixes seam now to be in good agreement with the theory, thereby allowing the application of standard orbit feedback techniques. The physics concepts and the chosen architecture to implement such software on the middle layer and interplay with other high-level software components will be discussed. The development and implementation of this software using the DOOCS servers in combination with the dynamic components of the Java DOOCS data display (jddd) allowed a flexible and scalable implementation, which could also serve as a prototype for future implementations at e.g. the European XFEL.
