Following are some of the questions that we have received from customers interested in understanding our technology & solutions. If you don’t see the answer that you are looking for please send us your questions.
_______________________________________________________________ Technology
Q) Are you a hosted solution?
A) No. We believe that over long term owning makes more sense over renting software. Our solutions will be installed and managed in your environment. Our solutions cost less than Hosted/On Demand solutions in the long run and you get the solution that adapts to your business.
Q) Are you SOA compliant?
A) Our platform and applications are built from ground up to be service oriented. We have a plug and play architecture that will enable you to replace any of the out of the box services with your custom or 3rd party services. We follow standards like Web Services and SCA (Service Component Architecture).
Q) Which Application Servers do you run on?
A) Our applications are currently deployable on any standard J2EE application server like IBM WebSphere, BEA WebLogic, JBOSS & Tomcat. In the future releases we plan to support .NET application server.
Q) Which OS platforms does your server run on?
A) We run on all Server OS platforms that the above mentioned application servers support like Windows, UNIX & Linux. With IBM WebSphere we also run on z/OS which is IBM’s Mainframe Operating System.
Q) Which Databases do you support?
A) We support standard relational databases like Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, IBM DB2 & MySQL. In the future releases we plan to support non relational data sources like XML data stores.
Q) Can you run on my existing data schema?
A) Our Model Driven approach allows you to model data objects over your existing schema using our RAD studio. These data objects can be used in conjunction with the out of the box schema and data objects to create integrated solutions.
Q) What kind of client technologies do you support?
A) We support multiple client technologies (like Rich, Web & Mobile) and believe in choosing the client platform appropriate to the application functionality. We are one of the first vendors to support Microsoft’s Next generation UI platform called WPF. WPF combines the convenience of zero installation, XML based layout & rich client features. We support a variety of web client frameworks like JSF, Struts, ASP.Net and Portal Servers.

Q) How do you build and customize applications on CodeObjects Platform?
A) CodeObjects platform through our RAD studio supports a model driven methodology, using which application developers can easily model new applications or extend pre built solutions, independent of runtime technology. Our transformation engines can translate the model to a run time implementation of choice. For more details on this please refer to our solution sheets and white papers.
Q) What is CodeObjects RAD Studio?
A) Our (R)apid (A)pplication (D)evelopment studio is a set of Eclipse plug-ins that are deployable on any Eclipse based IDE that allows application development & customization using our model driven methodology. For more details on this please refer to our solution sheets and white papers.
Q) How can you automate our business processes?
A) CodeObjects supports WS-BPEL standard for orchestrating services to automate Business Processes. Once you model a Business Process in our RAD studio any WS-BPEL compliant engine can be used to execute the process. We certify WS-BPEL compliant engines from Active Endpoints, IBM, JBOSS & BEA with our platform.
Q) Can I embed Business intelligence into CodeObjects?
A) We believe in tightly integrating Business Intelligence into enterprise applications. Our platform allows defining the Facts & Dimensions that you want to analyze into the application model. From this model CodeObjects RAD studio generates dynamic ETL scripts that can be used to transfer data from OLTP to OLAP. You can use any commercial Analytical engine to generate Reports & Charts that can be embedded into the Application UI generated out of CodeObjects platform.
Q) How can I upgrade the customized solutions to future releases of codeobjects?
A) Since our Applications are defined through models in our RAD studio, CodeObjects will provide utilities with every new release that will upgrade your applications, including your customizations.
Q) We have worldwide operations. Can we use CodeObjects? A) CodeObjects platform supports internationalization. Our RAD studio can generate localized versions of Application based on a single application model. |
