Jwavw 3.1 from Visual Numerics

Boulder 18 April 2001 Visual Numerics says JWAVE 3.5 is now available. JWAVE is a client/server solution that uses Sun Microsystems' Java components to rapidly develop and deploy applications across an enterprise via the Internet or an intranet. Whether developing applications using the Java programming language or HTML and Java Server Pages, JWAVE lets users perform numerical analysis and visual interpretation of large, complex datasets. Among JWAVE 3.5's most significant new upgrades are advanced graphics features that expand the client-side interaction of the product, and support for Java Server Pages (JSP).

Version 3.5 incorporates advanced graphics features that greatly expand the client-side interaction. Among the new graphics features is the ability to zoom in or zoom out of a chart, profile a row or column across an image, select a point on a chart, and interactively rotate a 3D chart. These advanced graphics features improve the productivity of the JWAVE developer and increase the flexibility of JWAVE applications.

The other significant new enhancement is JSP support. JSP technology provides a way to create web pages that display dynamically generated content. This technology facilitates the creation of web-based applications that do not require a Java Virtual Machine to be running on the client. JSPs and servlets, running on a web server, perform all of the application processing and deliver results in HTML format back to the client.

Because of its JSP support, JWAVE 3.5 now offers the following benefits: little or no Java programming is required by the developer; the JWAVE client does not require a Java Virtual Machine, as results are delivered in HTML format; multiple plots can be generated and displayed in a single web page through one call to JWAVE; and because all JWAVE connections are handled on the server, it is possible to create connections to multiple JWAVE managers running on multiple servers.

JWAVE 3.5 supports servers and desktop computers running any popular version of Unix [Solaris, HP-UX, IRIX, Tru64 (formerly Digital UNIX), and AIX], Windows NT or Linux. The price of a JWAVE 3.5 starter kit, which includes a single-user server license and two client developer licenses, is $8,795.
