Oracle JHeadstart

Oracle describes JHeadstart as follows:

"rapid component based development approach and toolkit for building J2EE applications"

Alliance Technologies has seen significant productivity improvements in developing custom applications for our clients using JHeadstart. The rapid generation techniques leveraged by JHeadstart reduces development time by generating over 80%+ of the application. The code is generated, not hand–written resulting in fewer errors. In addition, testing time is reduced as fewer iterations are required since the application runs the very first time.

Alliance Technologies is committed to using this technology to reduce time to market, reduce development costs and allow our customers to quickly see the end product before waiting for lengthy development schedules to be completed. Utilizing this technology has empowered Alliance Technologies to allow our customers to view their software products as they evolve.

Expertise

Presentation Tier

View Technologies
Alliance Technologies is expert in JavaServer Faces (JSF), User Interface XML (UIX) and JavaServer Page (JSP) view technologies. Alliance Technologies may further refine the look of the applications by using skins and style sheets as required by our clients. The current release of JHeadstart only generates UIX and JSP applications but the next major release will include JSF.

Example: Screenshot of application generated using UIX.

Reports
Alliance Technologies has built a custom framework for generating reports that may be leveraged by using JHeadstart. This framework allows for parameter forms to be generated by JHeadstart as opposed to needing to layout each parameter form individually and thus significantly reducing time. Alliance Technologies is skilled with using both Oracle Reports and JasperReports.

Example: Selecting the report the user wants to run.


Example: Parameter form generated by JHeadstart using customized templates.

Template Customization
Alliance Technologies has leveraged the power of the JHeadstart templates to provide further customizations to the applications. Templating boosts productivity and ensures all pages are consistent.

Middle Tier

Security
Alliance Technologies is experienced in using the built-in security features of JHeadstart and using external security implementations such as JAAS. Alliance Technologies leverages the powers of Oracle 10g Application server to allow the developers to only worry about authorization while security administrators can manage authentication.

Deployment
Alliance Technologies is expert in taking your JHeadstart applications and deploying them to the Oracle Application Server. We have expertise for all management aspects of the application server in regards to including deployment security, performance, etc.

Web In A Week

Alliance Technologies has leveraged JHeadstart to generate complete web–based CRUD applications (Create, Retrieve, Update, Delete) in less than a week of development time. Alliance Technologies has also used this technology to generate applications working alongside our customers so that they can view their changes immediately.
