ObjectWave is offering a rich Internet application platform called Swan, which makes it easier to link AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) interfaces to back-end server code.
Now in a beta release, Swan enables simpler connectivity between AJAX interfaces and server-side code based on Java, PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor), and Smalltalk. .Net support is planned for a future offering. Developers do not need to write the code for this linkage; JavaScript is binded to server-side components.
"All of that is being done by our engine transparently, so developers don't have to do any of that coding," said Alberto Corona, chief technology officer at ObjectWave. Developers, he noted, leverage AJAX to build dynamic, responsive applications with an enhanced user experience.
Swan abstracts away the user interfaces so that the server logic can manipulate user interfaces directly, said analyst Vishwanath Venugopalan, of The 451 Group,
"It’s a pretty straightforward API," Venugopalan said.
ObjectWave plans Community and Professional editions of the product, with the Professional edition offering more components and wizards for automating application creation. The beta version is based on the Community edition.
The company does not have a date yet for the general release of Swan.

Server virtualization is a popular option for dealing with mounting datacenter costs. Another equally promising approach is the use of an Application Delivery Controller. Citrix NetScaler provides a low-cost way for organizations to reduce their server count and accrue cost savings from a reduction in space, cooling, power and personnel.
