True business applications need rich user interfaces

No how matter how much javascript or other ticks we can do with html, it is just not enough. Then what? JavaClient is a tool designed to fill the need to write distributed and Internet based business applications.

What Javaclient has done is taken the Model,View,Controller paradigm and split the Controller into a client controller and a server controller and replicated the model on both the client and server. This allows the Controller - View interaction to remain on the client and the business logic to reside on server, with the model data available to both client and server controllers. This gives us maximum flexibility with minimal noise. The code that you write looks like normal MVC code.

Our toolkit is built using SWT and JBoss, with WebStart as an application deployment method. Simple xml files allow you to build applications quickly and with a simple callback mechanism in which all controller events can live in one controller class. This project is still under heavy development with plans to add a complete widget set.

We need your feedback! If you think this is the way to develop business applications then let us know! (If not tell us why!) Please use the Forums
