Java development for the rest of us
JDesignerProTM is a collaborative development and deployment system for interactive Java database applications. JDesignerPro is not just an IDE like Cafe™, J++™ or JBuilder™. JDesignerPro gives you a way to quickly develop professional Intranet database applications and distribute them to users with ease. Multiple developers can work together over a single server install of JDesignerPro to co-design and manage projects.
JDesignerPro(JDP) is an Integrated Development and Deployment environment. It is the only shipping enterprise application development solution where not only are the finished applications in Java but the builder itself is written in Java. This brings network computing to both the developer and easy deployment to the administrator. It is an end-to-end solution combining all the things necessary to deploy serious applications to a user base. Think of JDesignerPro as having all the power of any IDE while removing the difficulties of GUI layout, SQL creation and deployment issues like access control and application server integration.
JDesignerPro is meant to take the Intranet beyond HTML and basic database connectivity. It is designed for the IS manager and the department level managers. These people can use it to quickly build and deploy a database application across the Intranet or Internet. JDesignerPro is designed to allow forms, grids, reports and other components to be built in a matter of minutes as front-ends to any ODBC database. Using JDesignerPro, customers can develop such an application without writing a single line in Java, although developers do have access to the code to make changes if desired.
Once an application module is finished, all the code, including SQL, layout and database connectivity, is already included. The framework for deployment is an integrated part of the JDesignerPro system. Application screens are easily added together to form a larger application and a menu hierarchy, totally customizable by the developers.
The combination of the Java Language and the Internet or Intranet makes the most compelling system today for distributed data access. There is no easier or more inexpensive way to give data access to customers and employees than through JDesignerPro, the Java Intranet Solution.
