Additional InformationSystem RequirementsResourcesReference Slides


Web 1.0 = Static Web SitesAccess to information

Sites become interactive

Web 2.0 = Sites are socialUsers interact with each otherWeb is a platform

“A true Web 2.0 application is one that gets better the more people use it.” Tim O’Reilly

What is Web 2.0 All About?

Web 2.0 is about connecting people, and making technology efficient for people.

Web 1.0 was about connecting computers and making technology more efficient for computers.

Web 2.0 changes the way businesses interact with customers

Expanding from dozens of markets with millions of people to millions of markets of dozens of people

Task: Create a new application that will live in Web 2.0 world

Users : want their applications to have a rich user interface that maximizes user productivity. This group wants all their applications to behave like Microsoft's Excel or another client-resident application. They want the application to provide them with instantaneous response time. If they have multiple views of the same data (for example, a table and a graph view) and one changes, they want the other view on display to instantaneously reflect that change.

IT: loves the pure server-based delivery model, believes the cost of installing, configuring, and managing client-resident code is too high.

Task: Create a new application that will live in Web 2.0 world

Technologies exist that enable you to deliver a better-than-browser user experience without having to manually install code on client machines. Applications built with these technologies are sometimes referred to as Web 2.0 applications.

Web 2.0 applications provide the best of both worlds: the cost-effective, server-based deployment model combined with rich user experiences that are comparable to most user experiences with client-resident applications.

Eclipse Platform



Demonstration


The Eclipse Platform

An IDE framework donated to the Open Source community by IBM

– http://www.eclipse.org

From www.eclipse.org:

– “Eclipse is a kind of universal tool platform

- an open extensible IDE for anything and nothing in particular”

Extensible through plugin architecture

A framework for many software development tools

– Rational Application Developer

– WebSphere Studio tools

– QNX IDE

Eclipse is More Than an IDE . . .

Eclipse can be used to deploy applications

Applications are written as plugins to Eclipse

Offers application management and remote delivery

Eclipse-based Web 2.0 applications –Lotus Expeditor


Demonstration



“IBM has announced Lotus Expeditor, a development platform for creating Eclipse-based and Web 2.0 applications. Lotus Expeditor's open standards-based programming model enables enterprises to integrate existing and new applications and deliver them to a variety of connected and disconnected devices.” (http://www.web2journal.com/read/294453.htm)

"With Lotus Expeditor, companies can do business anytime, anywhere by providing software that runs across a variety of hardware choices.“

"Expeditor delivers productivity anytime, anywhere through composite applications. It can reuse existing portal, forms and instant messaging apps to build new user interfaces customized to a function, industry or business project through the use of mobile devices that can access information as well integration from IBM's Forms, Sametime and other workflow products,“ (http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2049941,00.asp)

Interaction Services Enable Rich User Experience…on Desktops, Laptops, Tablets, and Kiosks

Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) 3.2.1Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT) - Provides a cross-platform API that is tightly integrated with the underlying operating system GUI for a native look and feelJFace - Extends and interoperates with SWT to provide classes for handling common user interface programming tasks

Dialogs, wizards, and rich text editors define a framework for building complex interactions with the userViewers handle the drudgery of populating, sorting, filtering, and updating widgetsActions and contributions introduce semantics for defining user actions and specifying where to make them available

Draw2DLightweight toolkit of graphical componentsFocuses on efficient painting and layout of figures

Graphical Editor Framework (GEF)Adds editing on top of Draw2DFacilitates the display of any model graphically using Draw2D figuresSupport interactions from mouse, keyboard, or the WorkbenchProvide common components related to the above

Composite Application Wiring

A “wire” allows components to communicateWired components cooperate but are not required to be tightly coupledLotus Expeditor supports property-to-action wires

To “wire” components:Create a Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file to define actions and propertiesDefine wires between source and target components

Wires can be defined and contributed in two ways:In a Portal Managed environment, define wires by using the Portlet Wiring Tool

Stores wiring information in Composite Application (CA) XML fileLotus Expeditor translates wiring information to Property Broker wiring

In a non-Portal managed environment, define wires by using the Property Broker wire extension point – com.ibm.rcp.propertybroker.PropertyBrokerWire

Sample scenario

In the sample scenario, an insurance agent receives calls from customers who have had automobile accidents, creates claims, andassigns them to an adjuster. The agent can be mobile, working from the office, from home, or from any other place that provides connectivity. The insurance adjuster is mobile and travels around to see the vehicles and assess the damages.

Insurance agent – staff in call center, access the network thrbrowser.

Mobile Adjuster – mobile traveler to assess the damages.

Eclipse as a Runtime

Runtime components for inclusion in runtimes and applications. It includes Equinox, a component framework and an integrated update mechanism for deploying applications from a central server that exploit the OSGi standards, and RCP, the ability to deploy native GUI applications to a variety of desktop operating systems, such as Windows®, Linux® and Mac OSX.
