Nexaweb Technologies at the AJAXWorld Conference and Expo in Santa Clara, Calif. this week unveiled Nexaweb UCF (Universal Client Framework), giving developers the flexibility of using AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) or Java for Web applications.

UCF is being billed by Nexaweb as the industry’s first zero-install, universal client framework using Java or AJAX to deploy enterprise-class business applications over the Web. Both Java and AJAX clients download automatically to a Web browser and access cache data and program components to minimize network overhead, Nexaweb said.

In combination with messaging and integration components from the Nexaweb Enterprise Web 2.0 Platform, UCF provides an application development and deployment platform to leverage legacy and service-enabled IT assets and build secure business applications for a browser. UCF is part of Nexaweb Web 2.0 Platform.

Nexaweb Enterprise Web 2.0 Platform with Nexaweb UCF is due to be generally available on November 30.
