Elemental Software Monday
released its Drumbeat
2000 JavaServer Pages Edition for IBM WebSphere server.
Drumbeat 2000
(JSP) brings integrated support for JSP and JavaBeans to Drumbeat’s WYSIWYG
development environment. It offers Websphere users a visual tool for
building applications that incorporate dynamic Web interfaces to databases
and other sophisticated functionality without coding.
Drumbeat 2000 (JSP)
debuts at JavaOne this week and will be available starting tomorrow for
download directly from Elemental Software.
JSP and JavaBeans are parts of IBM’s overall strategy for providing open
solutions to build scalable, secure applications across a wide variety of
platforms. Drumbeat provides a way of developing e-business applications
for standard platforms using standard, reusable components.
The Drumbeat DataForm Wizard includes dropdown lists, list boxes, edit
boxes, radio buttons, check boxes, sliders and other UI elements to browse,
search, view and update databases. Point and Click Interactions control of
JavaBeans can provide Web interfaces, maintain state across pages within an
application, and create multipage forms. Drumbeat 2000 also ships with many
interactions, including such functions as database access and filtering and
password protection. Sample documents, templates, and how-to documentation
on common application functionality are included as well.
Future versions of Drumbeat are planned that will support additional
JSP-based servers to maximize the scalability, portability and
cross-platform nature of Java.
Drumbeat 2000 (JSP) will sell for an
estimated street price of $399 and is scheduled for availability for download beginning
June 15 for a limited time for the introductory price of $249 from
the company’s Web site.
