CONCORD, Calif., April 17, 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 that Exadel will present at the Fourth Annual MySQL Users Conference to be held at the Hyatt Regency in Santa Clara, California.

A session entitled “JSF, AJAX, MySQL, and Component-based Web Development” presented by Maxim Katz, senior systems engineer for Exadel, will take place on Thursday, April 27, at 1:30 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency in Ballroom C.  The presentation will explore the increasing use of JavaServer Faces (JSF) and its ability to facilitate the creation of highly customizable reusable components for business application development.

The interactive presentation will outline the ways in which leading companies have been able to combine the power of AJAX, Eclipse and MySQL with the capabilities of re-usable components to create state-of-the-art business applications that offer a new wave of end-user functionality. The session will also explore the impact of component–based Web development, allowing development teams to assemble systems rapidly, reduce development costs and reduce the spiraling maintenance burden associated with the support and upgrading of large systems.

“The MySQL Users Conference is an ideal venue to showcase Exadel’s solutions for using component-based Web development to improve development team productivity,” said Katz.  “This interactive discussion will challenge MySQL participants to explore their own development strategies and to consider alternatives utilizing component-based Web development leveraging open source.”

Exadel recently released Exadel Visual Component Platform 1.0, a rich component framework for the development of business applications based on JSF.  The new product offers unique and unmatched AJAX support for developing component-based rich Web applications while a high level of abstraction hides the complexities of the underlying technologies. Exadel Visual Component Platform 1.0 helps companies dramatically improve their time to market and quality to market by enabling developers to create Web applications faster and more reliably with a greatly improved user experience.
