XPSJava v0.3b Release - 2003 Apr 01

By loading XPSJava within XPS applications, existing Java classes that carry legacy codes or well-tested functionalities can be made available at run-time execution to all XPS applications. On the other hand, existing Java classes can now tap on all the integrated functinalities within XPS, such as XML processing, SMS/MMS mobile connectivity, ODBC/SQL native calls, etc, to achieve highly versatile and stable exchange of data between Java classes with local and remote systems. This means an immediate expanded data integration capability made available to the end-users.

eXtensible Programming Script (XPS), now in its version 3.2p (Public Release Version) is a powerful and dynamic data integration platform that brings a whole suite of important business technologies together in a consistent, maintainable, and simple manner.

XPS v3.2p, the Public Release Version, incorporates such modern and important technologies as:

• eXtensible Markup Language (XML) - a worldwide data messaging, storage and communication standard from wired to wireless, and from business to entertainment, gaining increasing popularity among users worldwide,
• Database (SQL) and Open Data Base Connectivity (ODBC) - access to both of these legacy and contemporary solutions for business data storage and retrieval are now made even easier with extended functions within XPS v3.2p,
• World Wide Web (WWW) - the basic platform for e-business and many other Internet activities, is realized within XPS v3.2p with embedded servers for Web Server (HTTP), File Server (FTP), Email Exchange (SMTP), and Email Retrieval (POP).

• Graphics User Interface (GUI) - bringing a user-friendly interface to a larger pool of users to gain access to complex and sophisticated technologies,
• GSM Short Message Service (SMS) - data integration with mobile communications come true in XPS v3.2 as one of the easiest and most dynamic platform to build your mobile sales, marketing and corporate communications,
• Multimedia Message Service (MMS) - one of the first in the world to bring MMS programming technologies to the masses in a simple, consistent and dynamic way. With its consistent programming language, the addition of MMS to XPS brings very little learning curve, yet allowing existing XPS applications to instantly gain access to this important upcoming mobile technology that may change the way businesses communicate.

Built as an extensible platform for various data integration tasks, the XPS v3.2p combines all its previous and existing strengths in data connectivity and processing, with the strengths of GSM SMS (Short Message Service) and MMS (Multimedia Message Service). XPS v3.2p features both low level and high-level support functions on SMS and MMS, allowing user to easily implement mobile messaging services for various purposes. All these combined prowess that can deliver your important data wherever you are whenever you want them make XPS v3.2p one of its kind.

Now, with the introduction of XPSJava, it becomes possible to take advantage of XPS' run-time loading capability, plus the fact that XPS applications can be programmed with scripts, to integrate your business into a highly flexible and cost-effective structure. By reusing robust and tested Java classes for your business, acquiring or developing new Java classes for added functionalities, it is possible to now use XPS together with XPSJava to integrate these important business elements into a single coordinated XPS application script to orchestrate them towards business profitability and cost-reduction.

But most importantly, new software technologies that are needed by businesses must be linked back to traditional systems in a data-integrated manner to protect past investments, as well as to reduce costs related to data migration, system integration, format interchange, gateways, etc. XPS and XPSJava brings such a vision one step closer to reality.
