HYWY's Productivity Environment for Java Technology offers object-oriented modeling tools that allow business decision-makers and application developers to map out applications, and then generate the required Java code to solve business problems more effectively. HYWY's Productivity Environment for Java Technology supports persistent business objects running in a high-performance object cache for use by application servers supporting the J2SE(tm), or J2EE(tm) standards, such as Sun's iPlanet(tm) Application Server.
