Business Partners, and the Eclipse community and customizing your

development environment to meet your needs.

Site Developer V5.1.2 offers enhancements to make Web development faster

and developers' productivity higher. There is support for new industry standards

that simplify the development of rich Web user interfaces and business logic. Site

Developer also offers high productivity tools for business-oriented developers

that are new to Java. The benefits of Site Developer include the ability to:

򐂰 Build dynamic Web user interfaces with minimal coding using

standards-based JSF components

򐂰 Visually design and develop rich Web user interfaces using drag-and-drop

reusable components and visual Page Designer

򐂰 Build data-driven Web pages with minimal coding and point-and-click

database connectivity

򐂰 Use a fourth generation language, EGL, to generate business logic and

data-driven Web applications in Java

򐂰 Build rich Web user interfaces with performance and maintenance

characteristics of thin clients using JSF extensions

The IBM WebFacing Tool quickly, easily, and cost effectively generates Web

interfaces to 5250 applications that run in batch mode:

򐂰 Source code-based application modernization for the Web

򐂰 Support for the INVITE and DSPATR keywords is added

򐂰 Improved Web page response times when connecting to the IBM WebFacing

server that has the latest service level applied

򐂰 Improved performance of iSeries job and system information retrieval

The HATS Toolkit quickly and easily generates a default dynamic runtime

transformation of the 5250 data stream. The resulting Web interface can also be

customized with the HATS Toolkit. The Web interface can be deployed to

production with the purchase of HATS separately.

򐂰 Allow users to give Host applications a Web “look and feel”

򐂰 Improve the navigation of host applications and generate portal interfaces

򐂰 No access to source code is required

Toolkit, see:
