SACRAMENTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 29, 2002

Unify Corporation (OTC System: UNFY), a leading provider of business application platform solutions, today announced the general availability of Unify NXJ(TM), a business application platform that automates the building and managing of rich, interactive Web applications using the J2EE platform. With Unify NXJ, mainstream IT organizations are able to use their existing staff of COBOL and client/server developers to build and deliver highly interactive Web applications using J2EE.

Unify NXJ is purpose-built for mainstream IT organizations that are required to deliver a new class of J2EE-based applications. Unify NXJ replaces complex J2EE coding with a unified application environment and pre-built functionality for enabling feature rich, highly interactive applications that deliver real-time business capabilities and value to a wider set of diverse end users.

"Building sophisticated Web applications in J2EE is a laborious task and especially challenging for organizations with a staff of business application developers," said Dave Glende, vice president of products and CTO for Unify. "Unify NXJ enables mainframe and client/server developers to deliver applications in J2EE using a development paradigm they are familiar with, such as event-driven programming, data-aware components, and familiar properties and controls."

Unify NXJ isolates the complexity of J2EE by automating and simplifying J2EE tasks and business rules, and bringing together common support services that underpin the requirements for the type of highly interactive Web applications businesses are demanding today. The Unify NXJ business application platform uniquely combines application behavior and business rules with the J2EE blueprints and infrastructure so developers do not need to know J2EE to apply business rules, generate Java code or integrate with disparate data sources.

The Unify NXJ business application platform is the first to provide ActiveWeb(TM) capabilities, which are a set of pre-built functions for delivering highly interactive, transactional applications and dynamic, event-driven processes on the Web. ActiveWeb provides the highly interactive behavior of traditional client/server applications in a browser, including real-time field level validation, smart navigation, smart forms, one form/multiple data sources, session control, field level access, pop-up select lists and tab controls, all without the use of client-side Java or plug-ins.

Unify NXJ is immediately available on the Windows and Solaris platforms. For further information, contact Unify at 1-800-248-6439 or visit www.unify.com.
