Developer: Create Rich Internet Applications using RAP

Create Rich Internet Applications using RAP

RAP allows developers to create Rich Internet Applications using the Eclipse component model, based on the OSGi standard

Tuesday, October 16, 2007

RAP 1.0 includes features well-suited for enterprises that are building a large number of new applications based on Ajax and RIA technologies.

These features include:

The ability to create and deploy RIA or RCP applications from the same Java code base, allowing organizations the flexibility to create browser-based RIA application or desktop-based rich client applications.

Support for creating Ajax applications based on the OSGi component model.

Java development tools that tightly integrate with the Eclipse platform and allow developers to quickly develop, test, debug and deploy RIA applications.

A complete set of frameworks for creating Ajax applications that support scalable user interfaces, complex widgets, databinding and loose coupling for UI elements.

“The response we are getting to RAP has been wonderful”, said Jochen Krause, project leader of Eclipse RAP and CEO of Innoopract.

He added, “We see a lot of interest from organizations that want to create Ajax applications but can't sacrifice developer productivity. They like making use of a component model that integrates RIA applications with existing web services and JEE systems. Eclipse and OSGi provide the technology that makes Ajax ready for these organizations”.
