OC Systems launches a "flight recorder" for Windows; Softwired adds wireless functionality to WebLogic-based apps; realMethods enhances J2EE development tool; and more! OC Systems launches a “flight recorder” for WindowsOC Systems has introduced the Windows 2000/NT/XP version of RootCause, software that helps find the cause of Java application failures. Like an airplane flight recorder, RootCause continually records data about a program’s execution as it runs. When a problem or failure occurs, the collected information transmits to support staff via email or FTP. With this information, support developers can walk through the operations that led to the problem and identify its cause.https://www.ocsystems.com/demo.htmlSoftwired adds wireless functionality to WebLogic-based appsSoftwired has integrated its iBus//Mobile Java platform into BEA’s WebLogic Server. This JMS-based (Java Message Service) wireless platform allows mobile applications to directly connect to WebLogic through various wireless protocols. iBus//Mobile also offers encryption, store-and-forward messaging to cater for loss of network coverage, an XML message transformation engine, and HTTP proxy. https://www.softwired-inc.com/products/belink.htmlrealMethods enhances J2EE development toolThe realMethods Framework 1.5 beta, available in October, will include Rational Rose model to XML integration.
