WaveMaker is a RAD tool that allows developers to create rich web applications using standard technologies like Spring, Dojo, Hibernate, and JAX-WS without complex coding, providing an intuitive visual interface for building database-driven and service-oriented applications. It generates pure Java web applications that can be deployed to various servers and cloud platforms. While suitable for rapid application development and frontend SOA projects, WaveMaker is less suitable for complex transactional systems or workflow applications that require traditional Java EE or BPM approaches.

- 2. "WaveMaker is the best thing that we've run across since chocolate milk." Neal Hacker, CEO, Dynaroo
- 3. Bastian Maat of SAP Belgium
- 4. WaveMaker provides a RAD tool for Ajax developers, allowing developers to create rich internet applications without having to learn complex coding languages. LiveForms and Templating
- 5. Easy to use platform to build web apps: Web Fast Generates pure Java web application: CIO Safe One-button deployment: Virtualization-ready Services architecture: The face of SOA
- 6. When to use WaveMaker: Rapid Application Development projects Form-driven database apps Front end “face” for SOA architecture When NOT to use WaveMaker: Complex transactional systems (traditional J2EE) Complex workflow (traditional BPM)
- 7. WaveMaker applications are based on industry standard open source technologies including:Spring (Java server), DOJO (Ajax widgets), Hibernate (database access), JAXWS (web services), JSON-RPC (client/server communication) and Acegi (security).
- 8. Java Services : Integrate existing Java code. Web Services : Connect with web services created using WSDL, REST or RSS. Databases : Connect to almost any relational data source and import schema. Security : Use LDAP, database security, rolebased access controls and single-sign on solutions. Flexible Deployment : WaveMaker Studio creates standard WAR _les that can be deployed to any JDK 1.5+ Java Server. One-click Cloud Deployment : Applications built in WaveMaker Studio can deploy directly to EC2. RightScale Integration : For multi-server deployments, WaveMaker integrates with RightScale's cloud management platform .
- 9. WaveMaker Visual Ajax Studio : An intuitive, browser-based, WYSIWYG visual builder for rapidly assembling web applications. One-Click Widget & Template Publishing : Turns any WaveMaker page into a widget or template for reuse in projects. Enterprise-Ready Data Widgets : Pre-built templates & Ajax components assist in building a rich user interface in any browser without writing code. Live Forms : Create CRUD database forms with a single click. Live Layout : Preview live data within the Studio. And more...Charting Widgets, Diagnostics, Context-sensitive Help, Type Validation Flags, Resource Manager
- 11. WaveMaker , Adobe Flex and Microsoft Silverlight Common features between WaveMaker and AdobeFlex Used for developing Ajax based applications and Java technologies Component based development: Containers/Layout Components, UI Elements, Data Connectors Components can be extended for additional capabilities or reuse Containers control layout (Canvas, Vertical Box, Horizontal Box) UI components display data, control interactivity or display states or other visual feedback (Datagrids, lists, buttons, selects menus, radio buttons, etc.) Data components load or send data (Services, XML, Remoting, etc)
- 12. WaveMaker Studio Databases Web services Dojo Widgets Templates (CSS, HTML) Java WAR file Database structure Widgets Templates Pure Java Web Application Import Export
- 13. JSON Request
- 14. JavaScript Object Notation lightweight data-interchange format easy to read and to write (for humans) easy to parse and generate (for machines) completely language independent, also similar to C-family of languages reduces bandwidth requirements by reducing the amount of traffic between the client (Web Browser) and the server (Web / App Server).

- 16. Hibernate usage can be a potential performance bottleneck. When creating or editing the table structure extra care is needed since all the data in the database can be lost. The modification of the data model incurs another import of the entire data source – in the development phase this can mean serious headaches. Does not support RPC/encoded style WSDL -> not all WSs are supported.
