What’s New in NXJ Developer 12

High Performance: Speed up the development, deployment and testing of Rich Internet and SOA Applications

  • NXJ 12 application deployment for testing and application usage is much quicker and leaner.
  • Faster application deployment.
  • Easier integration with third party application servers.
  • Control Center: The NXJ Control Center has been removed to speed up the development and deployment process and to enable tighter integration with third party application servers. During application development the application deployment time for testing applications has been reduced in half so developers have quicker access to application debugging and testing.

GUI Enhancements: Create richer and fast performing SOA and Rich Internet Applications (RIA)

  • Better user experience through enhanced RIA application performance
  • Enhanced AJAX functionality
  • Enhanced Dojo support for excellent usability and application performance. Supporting Dojo with GUI objects means that application functionality that in the past required a round trip to the web server does now execute locally in the browser using standard Dojo JavaScript technology. The results of using Dojo are higher usability and better application performance.
  • Textarea controls now have a new resize property that allows resizing textarea objects at runtime based on Dojo when set to on.

  • Move grid columns around to let a user see the data in the format they need
  • Resize grid columns to a user’s needs
  • Sort grid columns ascending or descending with a click on the column header

  • Easy editing of long text fields: New TextArea column type for CLOB data
  • Direct printing of grids and their content, for quick interactive reporting

Infrastructure Integration

  • NXJ 12 is based on Java 1.5 to provide easy integration with enterprise applications and enterprise application server infrastructure
  • Easy plug and play integration of NXJ applications into existing Java application server infrastructure
  • Deploy NXJ applications using the built in JBoss application server or deploy to Oracle, IBM WebSphere or BEA WebLogic application servers
