Icesoft Technologies on Wednesday released Icefaces Enterprise Edition v1.0, an integrated AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) framework for Java EE (Enterprise Edition),
The product extends JavaServer Faces to enable Java developers to build thin-client rich Web applications, Icefaces said. Application logic is resident on the server, with incremental changes to the presentation delivered to the browser and reassembled using a lightweight AJAX bridge.
Developers can develop thin-client Java applications while eliminating the proliferation of JavaScript code, according to Icefaces. Icefaces supports "AJAX Push" technology, which allows presentation changes to be pushed directly from the server to the client.
The Icefaces Community Edition is offered at no cost while the Enterprise Edition is a commercial upgrade with basic Community Edition features and enterprise-level scalability, advanced connection management and an asynchronous HTTP server. Clustering also is supported in the Enterprise Edition.
Pricing for the Enterprise Edition starts at $1,500 per CPU.
