Fitech Laboratories Announces Availability of xNova 1.0.2.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 28, 2003 Following the April 2003 xNova(TM) 1.0 product launch, Fitech Laboratories, Inc. is proud to announce the immediate availability of xNova(TM) 1.0.2 -- the high-performance J2EE (Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition) A platform from Sun for building distributed enterprise applications. J2EE services are performed in the middle tier between the user's machine and the enterprise's databases and legacy information systems. and .NET cross paradigm Services Oriented Framework (SOF SOF abbr. sound on film ) that provides a comprehensive set of reusable, pre-built system services, including distributed caching, embedded workflow, and configuration management. xNova(TM) 1.0.2 significantly enhances the way enterprise software applications are built. xNova(TM) 1.0.2 frees application development teams to understand and satisfy business needs by enabling them to develop high-value business applications within shortened development timeframes. By utilizing xNova(TM) 1.0.2 it is no longer necessary to spend time designing, building and maintaining a complex and expensive infrastructure-level code base in-house. xNova(TM) 1.0.2 based applications provide a fast ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system. In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot). , positively impact the bottom-line and significantly reduce the TCO (1) (Total Cost of Ownership) The cost of using a computer. It includes the cost of the hardware, software and upgrades as well as the cost of the inhouse staff and/or consultants that provide training and technical support. See ROI. of today's heterogeneous applications. This release of xNova(TM) incorporates developers' feedback as well as providing enhanced functionality and usability including MS CLR (Common Language Runtime) The runtime engine in Microsoft's .NET platform. The CLR compiles and executes programs in Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL). The counterpart to the CLR for the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI), ECMA's standard version of . xLint that provides .NET developers with enhanced "exception handling". xLint's innovative Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP (Automatic OPerator) An IRC channel host who moderates the topics, keeps online users in check and provides help for newbies unfamiliar with IRC software (mIRC, etc.). Whenever AOPs come into the channel, they inherit operator status. ) approach significantly improves error handling in .NET applications. Additionally, xNova(TM) 1.0.2 includes xStock, a "real world" application built using xNova(TM) 1.0.2. xStock was developed in Fitech Laboratories' Saint Petersburg Saint Petersburg, city, United States Saint Petersburg, city (1990 pop. 238,629), Pinellas co., W Fla., on Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico at the southern end of the Pinellas peninsula; settled in the mid-1800s, inc. 1892. development office and is a simple Order Management System for stock trading. "The goal of xStock is to provide developers with an applied demonstration of the core services The introduction to this article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter.

Jon Webster, Technical Director, Fitech Laboratories Inc. xStock utilizes a J2EE back-end and provides client applications in both JSP (JavaServer Page) An extension to the Java servlet technology from Sun that allows HTML to be combined with Java on the same page. The Java provides the processing, and the HTML provides the layout on the Web page. and .Net. As a result, xStock not only highlights the ease with which applications can be built using xNova 1.0.2 in a homogeneous environment Hardware and system software from one vendor; for example, an all-IBM or all-Windows shop. Contrast with heterogeneous environment. (J2EE/JSP) but additionally demonstrates the seamless combination and interoperation of the Java and .Net environments enabled by xNova(TM) 1.0.2. "In order to replicate the challenges our client's face, and to demonstrate xNova's short learning curve and high-value services, we decided to ask recently hired JAVA and .NET developers, to build this demonstration application with aggressive deadlines and budget. They had never worked with xNova(TM) before and in addition to that, they work overseas in our recently opened Saint Petersburg development office. I am happy to say that with xNova(TM) this application was finished in less then a month, on time, and inline with our schedule. Without xNova(TM) and the comprehensive set of services and built-in support for remote development it provides, the development of xStock would have taken at least twice as much time."
