WebObjects - Advantages

Advantages

WebObjects has a number of key technologies that differentiate it from some application servers:

  • Zero Cost: The tools and frameworks required to develop and deploy WebObjects applications are free-of-charge.
  • Streamlined Database Access: Database tables are represented in WebObjects as collections of Java classes called Enterprise Objects. The developer creates a "model" that maps objects to database rows. This high level of abstraction relieves developers from the drudgery of writing inflexible, database-specific code. With the use of drivers, such as JDBC, WebObjects automatically handles the writing of appropriate SQL code.
  • Separation of Presentation Logic, Business Logic, and Data: WebObjects conforms to the MVC programming paradigm, enforcing a clean separation of presentation (Web pages), logic (Java code) and data (data store).
  • State Management: Without using cookies, WebObjects provides objects that allow you to maintain information for the life of a particular user session, or longer.
  • Pure Java: WebObjects applications are 100% Pure Java, which means they can be deployed on any platform with a certified Java 2 virtual machine.
  • Scalability and Performance: Administrators run multiple instances of an application, either on one or on multiple application servers. Developers can choose from one of several load-balancing algorithms (or create their own).

Famous quotes containing the word advantages:

    “[T]here is no Part of the World where Servants have those Privileges and Advantages as in England: They have no where else such plentiful Diet, large Wages, or indulgent Liberty: There is no place wherein they labour less, and yet where they are so little respectful, more wasteful, more negligent, or where they so frequently change their Masters.”
    —Richard Steele (1672–1729)

    “But there are advantages to being elected President. The day after I was elected, I had my high school grades classified Top Secret.”
    —Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)

    “For, the advantages which fashion values, are plants which thrive in very confined localities, in a few streets, namely. Out of this precinct, they go for nothing; are of no use in the farm, in the forest, in the market, in war, in the nuptial society, in the literary or scientific circle, at sea, in friendship, in the heaven of thought or virtue.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
