What's new in JWAVE 3.5?
Among JWAVE 3.5's most significant new upgrades are
advanced graphics features that expand the client-side interaction of
the product, and support for Java Server Pages (JSP).
Server side graphics generation does not have to mean
static images. JWAVE 3.5 incorporates advanced graphics features that
greatly expand the client-side interaction. Among the new graphics features
is the ability to zoom in or zoom out of a chart, profile a row or column
across an image, select a point on a chart, and interactively rotate a 3D
chart. These advanced graphics features improve the productivity of the
JWAVE developer and increase the flexibility of JWAVE applications.
The other significant new enhancement is JSP support.
JSP technology provides a way to create web pages that display dynamically
generated content. This technology facilitates the creation of web-based
applications that do not require a Java Virtual Machine to be running on
the client. JSPs and servlets, running on a web server, perform all of the
application processing and deliver results in HTML format back to the client.
Because of its JSP support, JWAVE 3.5 now offers the following
benefits: little or no Java programming is required by the developer; the JWAVE client does not require a Java
Virtual Machine, as results are delivered in HTML format; multiple plots can be generated
and displayed in a single web page through one call to JWAVE; and because all JWAVE
connections are handled on the server, it is possible to create connections to multiple
JWAVE managers running on multiple servers.
Other new Features in version 3.5:
