IT “reinvents” itself every 10 years Distributed vs Centralized Interactive vs Accessible SME vs Software Factory Rapid Development vs “hand coding” Personalized vs Standard Software cycles www.ontimize.com

Integrated Rich Clients Rich user experience Dynamic content Desktop application Not bound to a browser Full integration with web Full integration with host Ability to continue when disconnected Java Swing + Java FX Webstart Deployment Other main players too Microsoft: Silverlight Adobe: Flex + AIR Google: Gears Next Wave according to SUN (JavaOne 2007) www.ontimize.com

It’s very difficult to keep up to date Commercial or “open-source”, there are just too many technologies to evaluate General purpose languages (Java, C++, C#) do not offer enough productivity Programmers are forced to use a combination of languages, libraries and products that do not integrate very well Software complexity www.ontimize.com The learning curve grows The quality of software decreases

Software complexity - example www.ontimize.com

Hand coding using general purpose languages is not productive and error prone IDEs are helpful but still require a lot of coding Frameworks provide a reusable design that increases productivity for a specific domain “ Standard” frameworks (JSF, EJB, Spring,…) and APIs address general issues. These can be combined and built upon to create a Development productivity www.ontimize.com higher level “corporate” framework

A declarative framework for developing interactive enterprise applications Based on standards (Java and XML) Multiplatform Interactive GUI Goal: Simplify the use of technology Result: Develop about 10 times faster What is Ontimize? www.ontimize.com * Under development Desktop Mobile Browser*

No need to develop your own Framework Increased development productivity Corporate IT strategy is implicitly introduced Improved software quality Simplifies the use of complex technologies Tested Evolves (new features available on future and existing applications) Optimize your resources Advantages for your company www.ontimize.com

Rich user interface Internet technology Covers many needs of enterprise applications Based on well-known, standard technologies Designed for software engineers (i.e. Eclipse) Application definitions are stored in reusable programming language independent XML Open architecture and access to source code Flexible and attractive exploitation model Why Ontimize and not others? www.ontimize.com

The role of Ontimize www.ontimize.com Applications Integrated and tested functional modules Enterprise application development Framework JFreeReport, JFreeChart, iText, JEP… Weblogic, Websphere, iAS, JBoss, Glassfish Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL

Ontimize allows you to define what application you wish to have: Client (Graphical User Interface) Server (Data Entities) Without having to worry about how to implement it in a program Basic logic (presentation and business) is included Advanced logic is programmed This allows implementing many user requirements without programming Rapid Prototyping Declarative approach www.ontimize.com

In Ontimize declarations are expressed in XML This has many advantages: Widely used standard Programming language independent Hierarchical Extensible (tags) Many tools available (editors, verifiers, etc) Can be transformed (XSLT), making the effort reusable XML as a declarative language www.ontimize.com

General Architecture www.ontimize.com

Reads an XML file that describes general parameters and references files that describe: Menu and button bar Trees Forms Presentation logic classes (event listeners) Report formats (JFreeReport) Language labels (bundles) XML tags are mapped to Ontimize classes or custom classes Ontimize Client 1/3 www.ontimize.com

Using these files, the Ontimize Client: Creates supporting data structures Instantiates classes when needed (late binding) Manages form loading, state and cache Manages dynamic component layout Provides basic presentation logic Manages custom presentation logic classes Manages communications with the server Manages user authentication Implements presentation security policies Ontimize Client 2/3 www.ontimize.com

Basic Presentation Logic: Login Invoke forms from the menu or button bar Trees: populate, invoke form, update inserts,.. Forms: Field format validation Data manipulation (CRUD: create, read, update and delete) Master-detail: multiple, deferred insert,… Cache: forms, data, … Tables (grids): populate, refresh, filter,… Drill-down from tables and components User preferences, internationalization, … Interaction with local devices Reports, graphs, attachments, documents,… Ontimize Client 3/3 www.ontimize.com

Ontimize Server Architecture 1/2 www.ontimize.com

Ontimize Server Architecture 2/2 www.ontimize.com Presentation Business Logic

Acts mainly as a presentation server and provides some facilities for the business/persistence layers Provides a “front controller” that receives client requests and dispatches them to EJB 3.0 Stateless Session Beans (SSB) or POJOs that implement business logic SSB that provide the basic business logic required by the Ontimize Client and automatic binding to JPA entities or JDBC are included (optional) Developers can extend these or create their own SSB to provide specific business logic Ontimize Server 1/3 www.ontimize.com

Security Support for single sign-on (LDAP, Kerberos,…) Container security defined using standard annotations Business logic security can be defined in XML: attributes, domains (rows), conditions, time constraints Communications designed for the Internet Latency: remote calls are minimized, encapsulating data in a single object per request Bandwidth: dynamic data compression Encryption (SSL) & tunneling (HTTP or HTTPS) Ontimize Server 2/3 www.ontimize.com

Basic Business Logic: User authentication & session management Data Manipulation (CRUD) Collecting data from multiple related entities User access log Transparent access to local and remote databases Secure and efficient communications Image, file and report repositories Ontimize Server 3/3 www.ontimize.com

Using Java, a developer can: Include custom components Implement custom presentation logic Implement custom business logic Interact with devices and other systems High level (Ontimize API) and low level (Swing, JDBC, etc.) programming supported Open & Programmable www.ontimize.com
