UIX

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.

Key Benefits

	Standards. UIX is based on the latest J2EE and XML standards. You can seamlessly integrate UIX pages with Apache Struts applications. Support for JavaServer Faces, an upcoming Java standard for building web application user interfaces, will be added in a future release.
	Platform independence. Because UIX is implemented in Java and other portable web technologies, you can use UIX to develop applications for a variety of platforms and browsers, including HTML-compliant browsers and mobile devices.
	Open, flexible framework. You can choose to use all UIX features or some, depending on your application development needs.
	Oracle9i JDeveloper integration. UIX support is integrated into the JDeveloper IDE. Interactive wizards, a schema-based XML Editor, and the Component Palette are just some of the features that assist you in creating UIX pages.
	Customization. UIX applications are easily customized for different end user environments. Different layouts and styles can also be implemented.
	Internationalization and accessibility support. UIX user interface components have built-in support for internationalization and accessibility.
	Declarative development environment. You can use uiXML (an XML language) to create UIX pages and manage page flows for your entire application, thus avoiding the need to write a lot of Java code.
	Streamlined design workflow. Using UIX to create user interfaces ensures a consistent look and feel, allowing you to focus more on user interface interaction rather than look and feel compliance. By default, the UIX user interface components and style settings comply with the Oracle Browser Look and Feel standards. Other look and feels will be added in future releases.
