Bojangles is a simple, easy-to-use Java application development and deployment tool for creating Java-based distributed network applications and systems. Bojangles uses the object-oriented programming notion of "collections," which separates object development, administration, and use, to integrate Java applets into the middle tier of client/server applications. Bojangles supports OMG CORBA-based access to Java objects, providing finer-grained access to Web server application logic than other Web server applications. Client-side applications are only responsible for implementing user services and accessing Java application objects that reside on a Web server. Underlying storage, security and transaction subsystems are easily reconfigured during and after installation. With Bojangles, developers can build and use Java class library extensions for data access and security and a standards-based distributed object infrastructure of CORBA/IIOP (Common Object Request Broker Architecture/Internet-ORB Protocol) for messaging. Bojangles is based on the Java server extensions in Netscape FastTrack 2.0 and Netscape Enterprise Server 2.0 applications. A version modified to work in a JavaSoft Jeeves environment is under development. |
