Apple WebObjects Version 5.2
WebObjects makes it easy to quickly develop and deploy your Java
server applications. Now with version 5.2, you can offer these
applications as standards-based Web services as well. A powerful
rapid application development environment, backed by Web service,
data access and page generation capabilities, it extends the reach
of developers and reduces the cost of ownership by ensuring
flexible, maintainable design. WebObjects is the ideal way to
develop, deploy and extend powerful web services. It gives you the
ability to build or use standards-based web services without
writing low-level SOAP, XML or WSDL. Tools enable code-free
generation, configuration and testing of web services from existing
data assets. These standards-based web services can interoperate
with clients written in many languages, including Java,
AppleScript, Perl and .Net, opening up enterprise development to a
new class of programmers.
WebObjects creates enterprise-level web services backed by robust
business logic and relational databases. It includes visual tools
that can reverse-engineer your JDBC or JNDI data sources, as well
as object-oriented frameworks that transparently handle data
persistence. Built on a classic three-tier architecture with
intrinsic clustering support, WebObjects allows you to deliver
maintainable, scalable applications.
In addition to web services, you can use WebObjects to rapidly
build database applications that have HTML, XML, SMIL or Swing
(Java) interfaces, depending on your needs. You can generate
code-free applications that provide rich Java client interfaces or
HTML with the click of a button. Assistants allow you to easily
customize layout and function, but you are in control. You can
freeze components for direct access to the code.
Support for J2EE technologies, including Servlet integration, an
Object Request Broker (ORB) , and an Enterprise Java Beans (EJB)
container, allows you to mix and match technologies. JSP
programmers can use the automated data persistence of WebObjects as
an alternative to complex EJBs. Others can host third-party beans
or write their own. And you can choose your deployment platform,
too: deploy to virtually any J2EE-capable server or use the
included WebObjects J2SE application server.
WebObjects gives you the power to deliver enterprise-level web
services and Java server applications... and the agility to respond
quickly to change.
