Uniface 8.4.01 is available right now and Uniface 9 will be deliver at the end of next year 2005. You can read an extract of what is the theme for Uniface 8.4 but you will find detailed information on myUniface web site. The Amsterdam Labs are working very hard (as usual) in order to deliver a complete set of interconnected software solutions for the Rapid Application Development arena, maybe next step will be support the great concept of Extreme Programming ? Everybody is talking about Uniface and J2EE, .NET, XML-XSLT, Optimal J, the future of Uniface, Uniface migration to Java. I am not worried at all about that, if you understand Java and the J2EE platform and Uniface you can use both architectures to enhance your business critical applications and why not .NET. If you have monolithic Uniface applications and you want to migrate to Java, then you will have a monolithic Java application. This situation will bring no additional value at all. If you have a working Uniface component based application (with session services and entity services or just services) why to migrate to J2EE or .NET ? The solution can be the interoperability, Uniface can access EJB using a Corba call-out and Java applications can access Uniface services using Corba call-in functionality or maybe it is better just to call in-call out uniface and web services ! Now with Uniface 8.4 we can do call-out to web services or expose Uniface services as web service (generate WSLD and move the service to a Servlet container like Tomcat and it will be serve by the Uniface SOAP servlet) If you want to share your opinion about the ability to use UNIFACE Eight for RAD, reusability, 3 tier paradigm, or whatever you want, just drop me an e-mail, so I will include you thoughts here. |

July/August 2000 Abstract: Widely used and respected, UNIFACE reinvents itself and makes a serious play for greater market share by emphasising the virtues of an open, integrated product line in support of B2B implementation. |
| Tools vendors look to simplify XML implementation (October 2nd, 2000) |
"Compuware last week, for example, announced that its Uniface 8 supports XML, which the company claims extends development and deployment of multi tier e-business applications." "Uniface can be used to generate XML and valid DTDs (Document Type Definitions) on request. As a result, no XML skills or DTD knowledge are necessary for e-business application development, and organizations benefit from increased developer productivity, ease of maintenance, and reduced costs, according to the company." |
