Inc., publishers of the 4th Dimension RAD/RDBMS Environment and 4D WebSTAR<br />
Server Suite, today announced 4th Dimension 2003, now with support for<br />
integrated Web Services, application integration, and much more. With Web<br />
services and application integration capabilities, 4th Dimension 2003<br />
allows different applications to reuse each other's data and functionality.<br />
This groundbreaking new tool also includes an integrated compiler,<br />
increased scalability, new printing and reporting features, and radically<br />
enhanced developer programming capabilities such as a new method editor.</p>
<p>"Whether you're a custom developer, an IT professional, or an end user, 4th<br />
Dimension 2003 has your needs covered, said Brendan Coveney, president and<br />
CEO of 4D, Inc. "Integrated support for Web services that provide<br />
application integration capabilities, combined with the power of Mac OS X<br />
version 10.2 lets 4th Dimension 2003 change the way business is done. Now<br />
customized, cost-effective solutions that significantly improve<br />
productivity are within anyone's reach."</p>
<p>"Jaguar is the world's most advanced operating system, and Mac OS X native<br />
applications allow developers to create the next generation of applications<br />
today," said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer<br />
Relations. "We're pleased that 4D is furthering the development of native<br />
Mac OS X applications with 4th Dimension 2003, combining the benefits of a<br />
powerful operating system with cutting edge Web services technology."</p>
<p>Web Services, New Reporting Engine and More Committed to technology<br />
standards, 4th Dimension 2003 includes tightly integrated support for SOAP,<br />
XML and WSDL in its Web Services support. Advanced Web services server and<br />
client support are included to provide scalable, flexible development<br />
capabilities. In addition, developer-friendly wizards create all the code<br />
necessary to call Web services. XML import/export and programmatic XML<br />
parsing is also now included from directly inside 4th Dimension 2003.</p>
<p>For developers, the new Method Editor provides numerous enhancements to<br />
improve productivity. New printing features allow developers to customize<br />
printing processes even further, and an integrated compiler gives<br />
developers the ability to rapidly compile code from directly within Mac OS<br />
X, resulting in a speed improvement of at least 50%.</p>
<p>Offering end users increased flexibility and power, 4th Dimension 2003 also<br />
provides a new reporting engine that makes customized report generation<br />
even easier. An enhanced Quick Report Editor gives users versatile ways to<br />
create comprehensive reports with ease, including cross-tab and list<br />
reports, without the need for external expertise. Furthermore, direct<br />
output to HTML and XML formats enable 4th Dimension 2003 to receive and<br />
send reports via the Web and Web services with new options.</p>
