With a mandate to
develop for a platform that was barely off the drawing board,
this project required the establishment of strict coding and
deployment standards and a truly platform-independent Java
architecture. The client wanted their client-server
application migrated to a web-based, user friendly system with
multiple security levels, reporting options, graphical charting,
export options and, a real twist: printed reports were to look
just like the plain jane, fixed width font reports that their
client-server system produced. With a number of challenges
in front of us, we first created a Java
development/compiler/distribution framework - as none were
commercially available in 1998 that produced
platform-independent code. Browser-neutral cascading style
sheets were used to control the look and feel of the data for
web display while we engineered a utility that would filter the
data on-the-fly from Java into a client-specific Adobe Acrobat
file for archiving or printing. |
