Silbergrau blue is much more than just a simple enterprise
framework. Silbergrau blue enables you to develop enterprise (web)
applications
- easy, fast, and at low costs
- on base of open standards to protect your
investments
- using Open Source software without any additional burden and
without having to dig through thousands of lines of code
- using Open Source software or commercial products and switch
between these without even changing your application code - just as
you need to
- without additional costs for third-party products
- with a maximum independence of vendors and third-party
products
- based on prefabricated solutions
- that can be easiliy integrated into your business
- utilizing powerful "free" tool sets and technologies (Open
Source) or commercially available development environments
- with access to online support systems (repositories, knowledge
management, cook books, etc.)
- role-based with a "real" separation of web-developers and
server-developers
- more productive by shortening the time to become acquainted
with the development environment
- ...
Simple, fast, and cost-effective
Application development with blue is simple, fast, and cost
effective. blue separates the development of the application from
the infrastructure it's based on.Your developers focus on
your customer's requirements.
blue provides you with the "right" infrastructure. Silbergrau
blue takes care of reading and writing objects, object
relationships (state management, relationship management, etc.),
queries (Object Query Language), logging ...
In brief, Silbergrau blue offers a simple, but powerful API -
you only need to develop the application. That's how simple
development can be - even for the web.
Productivity
Simplicity and productivity are the keywords for blue. Your
developers do not build infrastructures but build applications.
Within a couple of days they can grasp the key features of
Silbergrau blue and are productive. Prepared example solutions,
code snippets and cook books help solving their problems
and develop applications in a few days or weeks.
Openness, Standards And Protection Of Investments
Silbergrau blue is an open system that is based on open
standards and is fully customizable. You can use the "standard"
components out.of-the-box or replace individual components. You do
not depend on any vendor and do not have to invest in proprietary
technologies. Silbergrau blue relies on XML, Java-Standards,
JavaScript/ECMAScript and (X)HTML!
Moreover, Silbergrau blue offers an infrastructure which allows
you and your customers to quickly, simply, and efficiently utilize
the best of successful Open Source projects. Build on free tools
and technologies and offer a superior price/service ratio at no
additional costs.
Owing to the broad usage of successful Open Source
projects and a consistent application of standards,
Silbergrau blue becomes a true open system that helps to
protect you investments.
Do not get engaged with proprietary products that force your
developers to learn special development technologies or development
languages. Do not invest in special "scripting" technologies. Stay
on the path of standards and open systems!
Vendor Independence And Costs
You just develop the application, Silbergrau blue provides the
proper infrastructure:
- Regardless, if you have to use a MS SQLServer, Oracle, DB2, or
MySQL database. blue takes care of this issue - without changes of
your code base. Employ the database that is the best from a
commercial point of view. Or just use the database your customer is
already using.
- Regardless, if you need to run IBM WebSphere, BEA Weblogic,
Oracle IAS, or a "free" container like JBoss or Tomcat. Employ the
container that is the best commercial alternative or the one your
customer uses today. Start out with a "free" container and as your
application grows up move on to any of the commercially available
containers. Some of the big Silbergrau blue projects are still
running based on "free" containers.
- Regardless, if you run Microsoft Windows, SUN Solaris, IBM AIX,
Linux or even zOs. Silbergrau blue takes care of it without any
changes to your code base. Utilize the platform that is appropriate
for you and your customer.
In brief, Silbergrau blue opens true alternatives for you and
your customers!
"Ready-to-use" Solutions
Silbergrau blue offers a variety of "ready-to-use" solutions:
third generation content management and portal system, or
e-banking. These enable you to create new solutions in a few
weeks only.
Integration
Silbergrau blue applications can be integrated easily into
existing infrastructure. You can map applications to existing
databases (even without programming). You can use prepared
host-integrations based on J2EE Connectors, or utilize Web
Services.
In brief, Silbergrau blue is an integration platform.
Powerful Tools
Silbergrau blue is much more than just a framework. Powerful
tools help you to configure applications, they create "bean"
interfaces, configure object models visually or create database
schemas.
In brief, Silbergrau blue tools perform many of the "boring"
tasks that can be automated and thus save lots of development
time.
Online Support Systems
Silbergrau blue contains more than the conventional
documentation. Besides JavaDoc we provide developers with access to
online bug tracking systems and a knowledge base. This helps to
keep your developers up-to-date.
Role Based Development And Web Applications
Role based development is a promise that many fail to keep. With
Silbergrau blue you are a big step ahead and get closer to this
vision.Web applications are developed using custom tags Thus
eliminating the annoying business code that makes web pages hard to
maintain: Silbergrau blue tags allow to present business objects,
create workflows, call services, and so on. Predefined controls for
trees, grids, and dates make it possible to develop web pages
quickly and easily. Automated management of resources makes it
simple to customize applications or create multi-language
applications.
Just a simple detail: Silbergrau blue can automatically generate
client-side constraint checking for constraints that were defined
on the server-side. Without engaging a developer or web designer,
constraints are validated consistently and in case you are using a
web client even decentralized and without server round-trip!
