Upcoming Webinar: Creating Enterprise Business Applications Using Eclipse RCP. Register now.
Chicago, Il., September 1, 2008 -- Obtiva Corporation announced today that its president and founder, Kevin P. Taylor, will be offering a special Webinar: Creating Enterprise Business Applications Using Eclipse RCP, on September 4th.
Abstract:
The first generation of web applications sacrificed usability and function for ease of deployment - but recently the industry has shifted back to richer user interfaces written in Ajax, Flash, and Java. Many business applications have requirements such as offline access, desktop integration and UI customizations or responsiveness that make Ajax and Flash less attractive for such applications.
Because of this, rich client architectures featuring online deployment and web enabled client/server communications provide the easiest path to development success.
Eclipse's Rich Client Platform provides organizations a valuable jump start in the creation of such applications.However, a number of the core functions of such business applications are not handled transparently by Eclipse RCP out of the box.
This talk emerges out of the experiences Kevin's team gained while working on a large Eclipse RCP/J2EE enterprise application (millions of lines of code). It will address the gap between the standard functionality of Eclipse RCP and what is needed for the creation of polished highly usable business applications.
Among the topics covered:
- Dividing responsibilities between the RCP client and J2EE Server
- Applying the MVP pattern to RCP client views facilitating easier unit testing
- Eclipse Application Updating
- Employing the JFace Databinding API to decouple models and UI widgets
- Structuring form-level validation and error handling
- Notification and synchronization of data between the client and server
- Managing disconnected network functionality
- Client side database strategies
The Webinar will take place on September 4th, and total running time will be approximately 1 hour.
9:00 am PDT / 12:00 pm EDT / 4:00 pm GMT
