Item 3880509 96/03/01 19:38 From: DENISE_SCHNEIDER@NEXT.COM@INET# Internet Gateway Subject: NeXT Software, Inc. invites you to learn about our WebObjects NeXT Software, Inc. invites you to learn about our WebObjects development tools for Windows NT and popular UNIX servers. Find out what's next for the technology that gave birth to the World Wide Web. A decade's worth of the most advanced object software available today is now providing enterprise solutions for dynamic Web sites of all sizes. Integrate Client-side Technology. WebObjects is server-based technology that vends pages customized to the user -- pages that might contain Java applets, embedded information for Netscape plug-ins, any HTML widget, and so forth. Integrate Different Languages. WebObjects developers can integrate existing C, C++, Objective-C code (and APIs like ODBC) into Web-based applications in combination with scripted languages such as WebScript and (via WebObjects add-on partners) languages such as Tcl and Perl. Thus WebObjects supports a balance of scripted and compiled code determined by you and your application's needs. Support for both Java and JavaScript on the server has been announced. Integrate Different Datasources. WebObjects also includes built-in adaptors for persistently storing objects in RDBMSes such as Sybase and Oracle. Solution partners provide extensions to this database access framework including support for Informix, DB/2, and 3270-based mainframe applications. Integrate Your Objects & OLE. WebObjects includes object brokering technologies for Objective-C objects and OLE Automation objects over the wire. Thus a WebObjects application can vend an Excel spreadsheet, an Access database, or any application that supports OLE Automation on the web to clients anywhere with any browser (regardless of their desktop configuration). Note that this object brokering has been extended via NeXT's professional services organization to access objects implemented as CORBA or DCE services. Scale Your Applications. In addition to compiled code support, WebObjects provides sophisticated scalability enhancements such as a high performance CGI and NSAPI HTTP server adaptors. This adaptor technology can be configured to easily perform load balancing across multiple machines running a single virtual WebObjects application (or multiple WebObjects applications). The WebObjects adaptor can run on any operating system or HTTP server platform including popular models from SGI -- and still message the right WebObjects applications running on any combination of Windows NT, Solaris, and NEXTSTEP machines. Support for other Web application platforms is planned. WebObjects is browser independent, HTTP server independent, database independent, and operating system independent. In short, WebObjects integrates technologies through independence bringing solutions to businesses large and small on the Web today.
