News Desk TIBCO Tries Cleaning Up with AJAX
Previous Acquisition Gives it Tools to Succeed, Company Says
By: SOA News Desk
Dec. 23, 2005 09:45 PM
Tibco’s purchase of General Interface may reap new benefits for
the company, as the AJAX approach to application development grows. Tibco is
also focused on developing SOA solutions for companies who are trying to
distribute and push apps closers to users, while optimizing performance. “While
Ajax isn't a necessary part of SOA, they're certainly an optimal pairing,"
said Kevin Hakman, director of product marketing for Tibco Software Inc.'s
Ajax-based graphical interface tool. "They're able to leverage each
other's strengths. You can develop (applications) in parallel. If teams can get
together in the early phases and agree on the user interfaces, then the
handoffs can be memorialized in a WSDL." A recent Forrester Research
Inc. report points out that features such as cascading style sheets, the
DynamicHTML Document Object Model and a client-side JavaScript engine that
decides when to call the server for backup helps to make Ajax user interfaces
faster, and also lightens the server load. AJAX is not without its
critics, nor is it seen even by its boosters as a panacea for application
development. Yet its growth is apparently foreseen by all, as the industry
returns to previous client-server architectures when possible to avoid the key
bottleneck associated with much of today’s web development—requests back to a
centralized server for every new page (and all its elements), which can result
in a certain sluggishness familiar to all web users. The newest Tibco interface
tool will reportedly look to leverage AJAX’s speed potential to drive new
business for the company. Its interface builder follows the model of SOA tools
by putting security and policy a level of abstraction away from the service
creation. "We've created an abstraction layer that insulates developers
from the complexities of browser protocols," Hakman said.
