HERE'S WHAT IBM thinks of JCDA................. "The greatest e-business challenge is integrating the GUI with back-end systems," says David Marshack, senior VP of e-business strategies and solutions at Patricia Seybold Group Inc. (Boston). "Jacada has the tremendous ability to connect to legacy data, encapsulate it, and then use Java to pull it out and deliver it to a Java application. Rewriting these applications is very difficult, and people also often don't know the long-term future of them. Jacada is one method of solving this problem so people can roll out their e-commerce applications faster, mainly due to the openness of the Java API they use." Users of Domino on the AS/400 can use Java as a scripting language for building e-commerce applications, but they still cannot leverage their existing business logic written in RPG or Cobol. With Jacada Connects for Domino, however, this is no longer an issue, says Kelly Schmotzer, IBM's worldwide marketing manager for Domino on the AS/400. "This product really knocked our socks off and our AS/400 customers who have seen it are very excited," she says. "We haven't seen any other company do this using an open Java API. Our customers think that when they put Domino on their system they have to rewrite their legacy applications, but the objective is to leave the legacy applications as they are. Jacada Connects is very powerful because Domino users can leave their business logic as it is and still bring it users." On August 16, Jacada announced version 6.0 of its Jacada product, which includes support for additional deployment platforms, increased scalability and reliability, expanded administration capabilities and signed applets.
