UIX 2.1.7 New Features

Last updated January 2003

UIX is an extensible, J2EE-based framework for building web applications. It is based on the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern, which provides the foundation for building scalable enterprise web applications. UIX is server-based and supports a variety of clients, including web browsers and mobile devices. While UIX is based on Java technology, Java is not required on the client.

New features of UIX include:

• Create highly interactive and responsive web pages with (patent-pending) Partial Page Rendering technology available through UIX's Table, Hide/Show and List-of-Values components.
• Integrate uiXML pages with Apache Struts applications seamlessly.
• Launch Struts events from uiXML pages.
• Render uiXML pages as a result of a Struts event.
• Create complete web apps with very little Java coding using UIX and BC4J.
• Include BC4J InterMedia data without writing any extra Java code.
• Leverage BC4J client data file (.CPX) from within a uiXML page.
• Iterate over rows of a BC4J view object from any UIX component.
• Fine-tune data-bindings by attaching a single UIX component to different attributes of a BC4J row.
• Develop uiXML pages interactively and visually by observing results of code changes in the UIX Preview window.
• Lookup context-sensitive reference on uiXML tags directly using the F1 key.
• Make your UIX application accessible from mobile clients through native support for browsers running in PocketPC 2000 and 2002.
• Use UIX components directly from JavaServer Pages as custom tags.
• Fine-tune UIX configuration without writing any Java code using uix-config.xml.
