InterSystems Introduces CACHE 2007 With Innovations for Web Developers.New Version of Post-relational Database Offers Unique RAD capabilities Slashes Java Development Time by 40 Percent CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- InterSystems Corporation today announced the immediate availability of CACHEe 2007 with innovative technologies for rapid Web application development. This new version of the CACHEe post-relational database introduces InterSystems Zen, a framework for building rich platform-independent Web applications faster than ever before. Another new component, called JalapeEo, eliminates object-relational mapping See O-R mapping. for Java programmers, reducing their development cycles by at least 40 percent. "With the new rapid development capabilities offered in CACHEe 2007, InterSystems has staked out a unique position among database providers," said Paul Grabscheid, InterSystems Vice President of Strategic Planning Strategic planning is an organization's process of defining its strategy, or direction, and making decisions on allocating its resources to pursue this strategy, including its capital and people. . "Now it is possible for Java programmers to avoid the tedious and time-consuming task of object-relational mapping, and CACHEe 2007 enables any programmer to build Rich Internet Applications This is a list of rich Internet applications. They are organised by their use. Communication
InterSystems is a leading provider of database and integration software. The InterSystems product line includes the CACHEe post-relational database, Ensemble rapid integration software, and HealthShare health information exchange platform. InterSystems Zen: Rapid Rich Internet Application See RIA and rich client. Development Zen, a major new component of CACHEe 2007, is an extensible, high-level framework that is optimized for maximum development speed, scalability and deployment of rich data-intensive Web applications. Zen includes an extensive library of pre-built components, including grids, tables, and selection trees, that enables the quick creation and easy management of complex processes. As a result, developers can easily create Web applications with the same highly responsive and rich user interfaces as sophisticated desktop solutions. With Zen, CACHEe 2007 offers an attractive extension to AJAX technology for RIA (Rich Internet Application) A Web-based application that approaches the speed and elegance of a local application. An RIA may refer to a browser-based application that uses AJAX or another enhanced coding technique. development. CACHEe's advanced security model is embedded into Zen components, alleviating one common headache for Web developers. In addition, Zen's object-based extensibility makes it possible to extend pre-built components or, if preferred, utilize totally new code developed in-house for fast, easy customization to fulfill enterprise-specific requirements. Zen also utilizes a sophisticated "shared object" client/server data model that improves developer productivity by eliminating the tedium of parsing See parse. parsing - parser XML XML in full Extensible Markup Language. Markup language developed to be a simplified and more structural version of SGML. It incorporates features of HTML (e.g., hypertext linking), but is designed to overcome some of HTML's limitations. . And, once the application is deployed, close integration with the database ensures a level of application performance and scalability that simply isn't possible in a traditional AJAX environment. "We're evaluating Zen and plan to use it as the Web development framework for adding major new capabilities to our clinical system products," said Jim Klein, QuadraMed Corporation's Executive VP and CTO (Chief Technical Officer) The executive responsible for the technical direction of an organization. See CIO and salary survey. . "Not only does Zen support the migration of our applications to the Web, but it also supports our transition to object-oriented design Transforming an object-oriented model into the specifications required to create the system. Moving from object-oriented analysis to object-oriented design is accomplished by expanding the model into more and more detail. while providing support for our disciplined approach to application development based on design patterns," he said. "And, ZEN continues InterSystems' history of delivering software products that are optimized for RAD and high performance, essential characteristics for enterprise development and deployment." JalapeEo: Java Development in Half the Time, Without Mapping CACHEe 2007 also delivers JalapeEo, a new software component that provides the capability to persist plain old Java objects POJO is an acronym for Plain Old Java Object, and is favoured by advocates of the idea that the simpler the design, the better. The name is used to emphasize that the object in question is an ordinary Java Object, not a special object, and in particular not an Enterprise while completely eliminating the need for object-relational mapping. JalapeEo enables Java developers to work in the Java-centric development environment that they prefer and automatically persist objects in the high-performance CACHEe database. The result is extremely rapid Java/database application development and deployment. One early JalapeEo user stated that "it took only 15 minutes to persist the objects in CACHEe. If I had tried mapping those objects to a relational database relational database Database in which all data are represented in tabular form. The description of a particular entity is provided by the set of its attribute values, stored as one row or record of the table, called a tuple. , it would have taken months." And, CACHEe 2007 offers the flexibility needed for Java developers to build database-independent applications with JalapeEo. They can take advantage of optimized direct database access to CACHEe for maximum performance without the overhead typically associated with SQL SQL in full Structured Query Language. Computer programming language used for retrieving records or parts of records in databases and performing various calculations before displaying the results. . Alternatively, developers can utilize a relational deployment option with Oracle, SQL Server An earlier relational DBMS from Sybase and from Microsoft. Sybase introduced SQL Server in 1988 for various Unix versions. In that same year, with help from IBM, Sybase created an OS/2 version that Microsoft licensed and branded as Microsoft SQL Server. or other relational databases, if that is the preferred deployment environment. "JalapeEo is the right tool for any organization that wants to maximize the productivity of Java developers," Grabscheid noted. "Those developers will be able to achieve major productivity gains while working in their development environment of choice." Platforms and Pricing CACHEe 2007 is available on Windows, Linux, Mac, UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). and OpenVMS platforms. Pricing ranges from $220 to $1,380 per user, depending on configuration.
