The WaveMaker platform consists of two components: WaveMaker Visual Ajax Studio™ for developing rich internet applications and WaveMaker Rapid Deployment Server™ for deploying applications into a standard and secure Java environment.
Truly WYSIWYG Web 2.0 Development
WaveMaker Visual Ajax Studio is an easy-to-use visual builder that enables the drag & drop assembly of scalable, web-applications using Ajax widgets, web services and databases. WaveMaker Studio will look and feel especially familiar to client/server developers who are used to working with visual tools.
WaveMaker has helped customers reduce development costs by 67% and cut the lines of code written by 98%. Less code makes WaveMaker applications cheaper to maintain and easier to manage.
Key Development Features:
- Drag & drop application assembly - minimizes coding
- LiveLayout™ - preview live data within the studio
- Studio runs in a standard browser - no complex development tools needed
- NEW IN 5.0 Enterprise-Ready Data Widgets - automates all the heavy lifting needed to connect enterprise data to browser-based widgets
- NEW IN 5.0 One-Click Widget & Template Publishing - turns any WaveMaker page into a widget and/or template for reuse in current or future projects
- NEW IN 5.0 Numerous UI Improvements - WaveMaker 5.0 includes a new menu & palette system, a new project tree, a reorganized property inspector and new keyboard shortcuts
- NEW IN 5.0 LiveForm with To-Many Relationships - LiveForms now handle to-many relationships by automatically displaying grids
Truly Open Ajax Deployment
The WaveMaker development platform includes a built in Java and web server. WaveMaker applications are based on open source Java and Javascript components, including Dojo, Tomcat, Spring and Hibernate. WaveMaker applications can also deploy to any standard Java server, including JBoss, WebLogic and WebSphere.
Key Deployment Features:
- Push to Deploy™ - one-touch deployment to built-in WaveMaker server
- Standard Java deployment - WaveMaker .war file runs in standard Java servers
- Fully secure - database login, LDAP, role based access controls
- NEW IN 5.0 Faster Performance - With a new internal layout engine, DOM manipulation enhancements and a render only “need to see” portions of a page features, WaveMaker 5.0 applications are 10x faster than previously.
- NEW IN 5.0 Smaller Deployment Size - Applications created with 5.0 produce almost 50% smaller WAR files for faster and easier deployment.
