PlainSoft XAS - A NEW 100% JAVA API SIMPLIFIES DATABASE INTERFACING
BUC, FRANCE - 25 August 1998 - ADNT launches PlainSoft XAS, a 100% Java
API, designed to automate all the processing between databases,
applications and graphical interfaces.
XAS frees developers from any SQL programming, regardless of the type of
application or the size and complexity of the database. It simplifies the
design and implementation of associated interfaces.
PlainSoft XAS offers numerous data handling functions and does not requires
databases to adhere strictly to the relational model. It handles all the
linking for the graphical interface, data presentation and updating. The
query manager provides the user with simple, but highly effective
interrogation facilities.
Developers will achieve shorter development cycles because PlainSoft's XAS
API so easy to use and needs so little code. Users will value the clarity
and power of the interface.
PlainSoft XAS runs under all Java compatible operating systems. A program
written in PlainSoft XAS will work with Oracle, Sybase, Informix, MS SQL
server, MS Access, and other databases without any modification. All that's
required is a JDBC driver.
The current version has been tested with AWT and JFC. Adding greater remote
access security, and even simpler intra/internet implementation, an
alternative XAS based on a Java servlet and HTML client is under test.
Further developments using JavaBeans and a Java servlet/applet are already
planned.
PlainSoft XAS takes all the effort out of creating reliable, easy to use,
high-performance applications.
A month's evaluation license, including full documentation is available
