WaveMaker is the fastest way to build and deploy to a Java Server
WaveMaker's Visual Ajax Studio gives Java and SOA developers a great tool to rapidly construct lightweight, responsive and intuitive Ajax web applications that take advantage of their existing Apache Tomcat or J2EE (Java EE) environments. Visual Ajax Studio's drag & drop environment simplifies the process of adding an Ajax front-end to Web services, databases, and even custom Java code. All this can be done without ever learning a new programming language, xml dialect or server architecture.
WaveMaker Studio produces a standard Java application that can be opened and extended in popular Java development environments like Eclipse and Netbeans. Java developers will appreciate Studio's ability to instantly put a front-end on their Java EE code. WaveMaker's use of standard Java frameworks like Spring and Hibernate make the integration of existing projects even easier.
For SOA developers, WaveMaker's architecture will be very familiar. WaveMaker applications are built around Data objects (models), returned from databases and services, bound to Widgets & pages (view), and are managed by services (controller).
Database operations, custom logic, SOAP, REST and RSS services are all exposed as services in WaveMaker Studio. Any operation, regardless of source, can be bound to any UI element, event or service object. This makes using web-services in an application as simple as pointing and clicking.
What's more, companies that haven't fully deployed their Service Oriented Architecture will find that WaveMaker is a great way to build applications in the meantime. Applications can be built using existing databases and then updated as the corresponding web-services come on line.
When should I use WaveMaker?
How do you know if your next project is right for WaveMaker? If any of the statements below apply, then give WaveMaker a try.
- I need a faster way to build Java applications.
- I need to get a bunch of new internal web applications yesterday!
- I want to extend an existing web application with Rich UI and better integration with databases, or web-services.
- I want an easier way to get started with new Web 2.0 technologies.
- I want to use Ajax frameworks like Dojo, but I'm not a JavaScript expert.
- I want to connect my front-end to a standard back-end like Spring & Hibernate, but I'm not a Java expert.
- I am a Java expert and I want the businesses to build some of their own apps.
- I need a quicker way for others to build applications that I can still maintain, modify and manage in Eclipse.
- We're rolling out a bunch of web-services, and I don't have an easy way to put a front-end on them.
- We've made an investment in web services and have yet to find an affordable way to re-use them.
- Our Java environment is getting so complex; we can only afford to build our most strategic applications with these tools.
