Overview of Caché Features & Benefits
Caché Web Features
When it comes to enabling the creation of sophisticated high-performance Web applications, Caché is in a class by itself. Caché Web technology brings all the capabilities of Caché to the demanding environment of the Internet, where rapid development and adaptability are as important as database speed and scalability.
| Features | Benefits |
|---|---|
| Automatic XML Mapping | |
| Caché can automatically generate XML documents and their corresponding DTD’s or XML schemas from Caché classes. | Rapid development of XML-compatible applications. XML enables application to application data sharing. |
| Web Services Wizard | |
| Allows any Caché method to be published as a Web Service. Caché automatically generates the WSDL descriptor and, when the service is invoked, responds with SOAP-formatted XML. | Allows sharing of functionality over a network. Enables the integration of legacy applications. |
| Caché Server Pages | |
| Caché Server Pages reside and execute on the Caché data server, taking advantage of speedy intra-process communications. Connection to the Web server is made using fast standard APIs. | High-speed Web access, compatible with all major Web servers. Boosts performance and scalability by offloading business logic processing to the powerful Caché data server. Centralized application logic enables fast and easy application changes. |
| Caché Application Tags | |
| Caché Application Tags execute functions on the Caché data server and/or the browser. They can be incorporated into Caché Server Pages using any text editor or off-the-shelf Web page creation tool. Caché Application Tags are extensible, so they can be custom-built to fit the needs of any Web application. | Fast Web application development. Components are reusable, and developers can work with familiar tools. Promotes cooperative Web design – i.e.: Web page designers craft the screens through which users will navigate; application programmers code the tags that give the pages functionality. |
| Hyper-Events | |
| Hyper-events allow events occurring on a browser (mouse clicks, mouse movements, field value changes, timeouts, etc.) to invoke server-side operations and to update the current page without repainting it. | Browser events can trigger database responses without waiting for a page to be submitted. Web applications are much more interactive and responsive. |
| Caché Web Form Wizard | |
| Automatically generates ready-to-run HTML forms from Caché Object classes. | Rapid Web development. Applications are instantly Web-enabled. |
