Positioning of Casabac GUI Server

The Casabac GUI Server is a user interface platform, providing interactive rich client user interfaces for server based applications, and should strongly be considered in following areas:

• Enterprise / Business Applications
• Intranet Applications
• Extranet Applications
• Highly complex and very interactive applications

Positioning against other Web Frameworks

There is a large number of frameworks available in the area of web-based access to business applications. The current standard ones are servlet, JSP, JSP-Struts, JSF. - How does Casabac differentiate?

• Casabac is much more interactive - there is no need for reloading pages with every user interaction unlike with the other available technologies.
• Hence offering a performance level of interactivity that is similar to dekstop user interface implementations.
• Casabac's learning curve for developers is easy and intuitive.
• All your developers need to know is Java (no HTML, no Struts, no JavaScript, no JSP, ...)
• Casabac built user interfaces support both Web-enabled and non-Web-enabled client environment. - The same user interface that is available via the Web browser as interactive HTML page is also available via Casabac's SWT Client.

Positioning against Java GUI Libraries (e.g. Swing)

A lot of user interfaces are developed directly using Java GUI libraries, e.g. Swing or SWT. Casabac differenciates in the following way:

• The Casabac GUI Client is automatically running decoupled from the application.
• Between the client and the server there is only a optimized and reduced data exchange.
• Casabac offers  a Web User Interface in addition.
