JOT Object Technologies has released version 3.0 of the JOT Servlets Java web components framework. JOT Servlets is a software development framework for dynamic content web applications. This release includes new demonstration applications that illustrate JOT Web Components. The demonstration applications are included and can also be launched from the website.

JOT Servlets Architecture

The JOT Servlets Java web components framework reduces J2EE application complexity and boosts productivity for web designers and Java developers. With JOT Servlets, web designers create dynamic content using standard web pages and programmers develop Java Bean web components using established J2EE technologies.

JOT Servlets Benefits

• Reduced J2EE Complexity: The JOT Servlets framework cuts through the layers of J2EE technologies to make n-tier J2EE resources available for dynamic web content without JSP, JSF or complex XML tags.
• Lower Training Costs: With JOT Servlets, web designers and Java programmers can immediately develop dynamic web content using the skills they already have.
• Efficient Content Development: The JOT Servlets rapid application development architecture leverages a Java web components framework based on a clean separation of tasks between Java programming and web page design.
• Easy Web Scripting: JOT Templates control web content without convoluted programming syntax. JOT Templates do not require JSP expression language or complex XML programming.
• Zero Configuration: JOT Servlets are deployed without additional XML configuration files. Initialization parameters are optional with reasonable defaults.
• Standards Compliant: Web designers can develop dynamic content with JOT Templates that are standard web pages (HTML, XHTML, etc.).
• Web Compatible: The JOT Servlets framework is transparently compatible with all leading web design tools, from FrontPage to Flash. JOT Servlets works with any J2EE application server, including WebSphere, WebLogic, JBoss and Tomcat.

 
Java Web Components Framework

With JOT Servlets web designers and Java programmers use standard techniques to create dynamic content for web applications (without JSP, JSF or XML programming). Jot Servlets use Java objects (Java Beans and POJO's - plain old java objects) to render dynamic content into standard HTML web pages.

• JOT Web Components are dynamic content building blocks for rendering composite views, portals and tiled layouts. Iterator components render tabular output using Java Collections and database queries. JOT Web Components can be combined with unlimited flexibility to any nesting depth.
• JOT Templates are standard web pages (HTML, XHTML, etc.) with dynamic content web components and server-side scripting.
• JOT Tokens use server-side Java objects to render dynamic content.
• JOT Views is a dynamic content rendering engine for Java Servlets and JSP.
• JOT JSP Tags are custom tags for rendering dynamic content web components on JSP pages.
