Silbergrau blue is much more than just a simple
enterprise framework. Silbergrau blue enables you to develop
enterprise (web) applications
- easy, fast, and at low costs
- on base of open standards to protect your
investments
- using Open Source software without any additional burden
and without having to dig through thousands of lines of
code
- using Open Source software or commercial products and
switch between these without even changing your application
code - just as you need to
- without additional costs for third-party products
- with a maximum independence of vendors and
third-party products
- based on prefabricated solutions
- that can be easiliy integrated into your business
- utilizing powerful "free" tool sets and technologies
(Open Source) or commercially available development
environments
- with access to online support systems (repositories,
knowledge management, cook books, etc.)
- role-based with a "real" separation of web-developers and
server-developers
- more productive by shortening the time to become
acquainted with the development environment
- ...
Simple, fast, and cost-effective
Application development with blue is simple, fast, and cost
effective. blue separates the development of the application
from the infrastructure it's based on.Your developers focus
on your customer's requirements.
blue provides you with the "right" infrastructure.
Silbergrau blue takes care of reading and writing
objects, object relationships (state management,
relationship management, etc.), queries (Object Query
Language), logging ...
In brief, Silbergrau blue offers a simple, but powerful API
- you only need to develop the application. That's how simple
development can be - even for the web.
Productivity
Simplicity and productivity are the keywords for blue. Your
developers do not build infrastructures but build applications.
Within a couple of days they can grasp the key features of
Silbergrau blue and are productive. Prepared example solutions,
code snippets and cook books help solving their
problems and develop applications in a few days or weeks.
Openness, Standards And Protection Of Investments
Silbergrau blue is an open system that is based on open
standards and is fully customizable. You can use the "standard"
components out.of-the-box or replace individual components. You
do not depend on any vendor and do not have to invest in
proprietary technologies. Silbergrau blue relies on XML,
Java-Standards, JavaScript/ECMAScript and (X)HTML!
Moreover, Silbergrau blue offers an infrastructure which
allows you and your customers to quickly, simply, and
efficiently utilize the best of successful Open Source
projects. Build on free tools and technologies and offer a
superior price/service ratio at no additional costs.
Owing to the broad usage of successful Open Source
projects and a consistent application of standards,
Silbergrau blue becomes a true open system that helps to
protect you investments.
Do not get engaged with proprietary products that force your
developers to learn special development technologies or
development languages. Do not invest in special "scripting"
technologies. Stay on the path of standards and open
systems!
Vendor Independence And Costs
You just develop the application, Silbergrau blue provides
the proper infrastructure:
- Regardless, if you have to use a MS SQLServer, Oracle,
DB2, or MySQL database. blue takes care of this issue -
without changes of your code base. Employ the database that
is the best from a commercial point of view. Or just use the
database your customer is already using.
- Regardless, if you need to run IBM WebSphere, BEA
Weblogic, Oracle IAS, or a "free" container like JBoss or
Tomcat. Employ the container that is the best commercial
alternative or the one your customer uses today. Start out
with a "free" container and as your application grows up move
on to any of the commercially available containers. Some of
the big Silbergrau blue projects are still running based on
"free" containers.
- Regardless, if you run Microsoft Windows, SUN Solaris,
IBM AIX, Linux or even zOs. Silbergrau blue takes care of it
without any changes to your code base. Utilize the platform
that is appropriate for you and your customer.
In brief, Silbergrau blue opens true alternatives for you
and your customers!
"Ready-to-use" Solutions
Silbergrau blue offers a variety of "ready-to-use"
solutions: third generation content management and portal
system, or e-banking. These enable you to create new solutions
in a few weeks only.
Integration
Silbergrau blue applications can be integrated easily into
existing infrastructure. You can map applications to existing
databases (even without programming). You can use prepared
host-integrations based on J2EE Connectors, or utilize Web
Services.
In brief, Silbergrau blue is an integration platform.
Powerful Tools
Silbergrau blue is much more than just a framework. Powerful
tools help you to configure applications, they create "bean"
interfaces, configure object models visually or create database
schemas.
In brief, Silbergrau blue tools perform many of the "boring"
tasks that can be automated and thus save lots of development
time.
Online Support Systems
Silbergrau blue contains more than the conventional
documentation. Besides JavaDoc we provide developers with
access to online bug tracking systems and a knowledge base.
This helps to keep your developers up-to-date.
Role Based Development And Web Applications
Role based development is a promise that many fail to keep.
With Silbergrau blue you are a big step ahead and get closer to
this vision.Web applications are developed using custom tags
Thus eliminating the annoying business code that makes web
pages hard to maintain: Silbergrau blue tags allow to present
business objects, create workflows, call services, and so on.
Predefined controls for trees, grids, and dates make it
possible to develop web pages quickly and easily. Automated
management of resources makes it simple to customize
applications or create multi-language applications.
Just a simple detail: Silbergrau blue can automatically
generate client-side constraint checking for constraints that
were defined on the server-side. Without engaging a developer
or web designer, constraints are validated consistently and in
case you are using a web client even decentralized and without
server round-trip!
