EXADEL ANNOUNCES AJAX SUPPORT FOR JSF
New Release of Exadel Studio Pro Provides Significantly Improved Performance and Reliability for Enterprise Web Development
CONCORD,
Calif., January 31, 2006-Exadel, Inc., a leading provider of software,
services and support that enable companies to create mission-critical
business applications based on open source and Java™ technologies,
today announced AJAX support through its new version of Exadel Studio
3.5.
Asynchronous JavaScript And XML, or AJAX, is a Web
development technique for creating interactive Web applications, that
is gaining widespread attention from the development community. Because
AJAX applications inevitably involve running complex JavaScript code on
the client, developers need tools and frameworks that help with
efficiency and accuracy.
"One of the biggest obstacles to
AJAX adoption, a technology we believe has a great deal of promise, is
tooling," said Richard Monson-Haefel, senior analyst at Burton Group.
"Once the tooling problem is licked, AJAX development will reach the
masses and its full potential as a rich Internet application
technology. So, the more IDEs that support AJAX development, the
better."
With Exadel Studio Pro 3.5's new support for AJAX
(and coupled with additional features and functionality), development
teams have access to one fully integrated development environment. The
results include dramatically increased developer productivity, better
product reliability and an accelerated application development
lifecycle.
Exadel Studio Pro 3.5 is an advanced
enterprise-level Web application development environment for leveraging
open source, J2EE and AJAX technologies within the Eclipse environment.
Combining visual and source-oriented development approaches with
support for multiple open source technologies, including JSF, Struts,
Hibernate, MyFaces, Oracle ADF, Shale, Spring and others, Exadel Studio
Pro enables developers to work with multiple frameworks all within one
environment. New features include:
- Extensive
support for the AJAX JSF components in the Apache MyFaces Sandbox
component library. Studio Pro 3.5 doesn't just bundle AJAX
components, but fully integrates them into the visual editing
environment in four specific ways:
- The AJAX components are easily accessible through the Exadel Palette used with the Exadel Visual Page Editor
- Dragging and dropping an AJAX component onto a page using the Visual Page Editor launches an advanced wizard for setting up the component for use in the page
- The WYSIWYG display of AJAX components is completely handled out-of-the-box by customizable templates
- Full code assist is available for editing source code with AJAX components
- Drag-and-drop configuration wizards for complex JSF components in the Visual Page Editor
- Based on the new Eclipse Web Tools Project (WTP) 1.0, providing enhanced performance and reliability
- Full specialized support (code assist, project templates, etc.) for Struts Shale and the upgraded Facelets 1.0 extension to JSF. (Exadel Studio Pro 3.5 is currently the only IDE to support these new versions of technologies for making the design of Web applications faster and more powerful.)
"Exadel is committed to providing the
development community with next-generation technology that supports
open source component development," said Igor Shabalov, vice president
of product development at Exadel, Inc. "The release of Exadel
Studio Pro 3.5 illustrates our leadership and ability to deliver
developer-valued products to the market."
