We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.
QBeans assists developers to rapidly assemble service-oriented
applications from their business domain models, which are independent
of both application and persistence technologies. This technology
independence allows the enterprise to evolve their business objects,
services and processes as their business evolves and to independently
choose (or replace) client application technologies, persistence
(database) and J2EE application server products as appropriate to the
evolving technical requirements of the applications.
The QBeans JDO consists of
a set of Java Beans application components based on the
Java Foundation Classes (JFC) and the Java Data Objects (JDO)
specification
a flexible development approach for creating rich-client applications, and
a set of design patterns that incorporate best practices.
Fully functional business applications are rapidly assembled using
these technology-independent business domain objects and QBeans JDO.
These applications are deployed against datastores (such as relational
or object databases) through appropriate third party JDO
implementations, which are selected based on technical deployment
requirements of the application and its user community.
QBeans is designed to be a powerful Java application framework that Improves development effectiveness by:
Eliminating a large amount of custom coding, thereby
Reducing the amount and complexity of application code
because QBeans' many infrastructure components perform the more complex
application management tasks, such as instance persistence state
management, transaction coordination, and window and UI state
management.
Reducing development and testing effort and
cost because these increase with the amount and complexity of the code,
and QBeans greatly simplifies the code required to build an application.
Improves application quality by
Shifting the primary focus from the technical to the
business requirements because the over 400 classes in QBeans provide
virtually all the application infrastructure you will ever need, from
windows and widgets to data management, freeing your development team
to focus on user requirements.
Enabling an iterative and
user-involved Rapid Application Development process because iterations
can be short and productive, allowing the users to observe progress,
retain their interest in the process and provide almost immediate
feedback through successive iterations
Improves application longevity by
Enhancing reusability of application and business components
because the business components are not bound to any persistence
technology, nor to any specific application code
Allowing
deployment technology and business domain model to change independently
in response to independent forces due to this de-coupling.
Easing
the transition from traditional client/server to service-oriented
architectures because desktop applications with queries and
resultset-like lists are familiar from the client server world,
however, with QBeans JDO the results are fully formed Business Objects.
Easily
redeploying applications with different datastores because there are
multiple vendors for JDO implementations, and these implementations
cover most major databases and some of the major ERP products.
Improves deployment flexibility by
Delaying major deployment decisions, such as choice of
datastore technologies, to deployment time rather than design time
because there are multiple vendors for JDO implementations, and these
implementations cover most major database and ERP products
