SAS Appdev Studio 3

Several key market-driven goals guided the development of SAS AppDev Studio 3.0:

• Implement enhanced development capabilities that take advantage of the latest Java technology.

• Deliver new components and graphs to support customer requirements

• Enhance support for web application development given the popularity of server-based Java solutions

• Provide customizable content templates to enable rapid application development

• Support data access using the new SAS Information Maps

• Create and deploy content for the SAS Information Delivery Portal

These goals resulted in the addition of specific new and enhanced features within the SAS AppDev Studio product bundle. We discuss these features below along with several examples of how to use these new capabilities to exploit the power of the SAS Business Intelligence Architecture from Java programs.

General Java Development Enhancements

SAS AppDev Studio 3.0 supports the latest Java technologies, including J2SE 1.4 and J2EE 1.3. SAS AppDev Studio 3.0 has been certified as J2EE 1.3 compatible. Some of the key new Java development features within webAF include:

• WebAF uses the popular open source Apache Ant1 build tool to manage project builds. Users can add custom build tasks, which webAF then automatically integrates into the build menu.

• The webAF source editor provides enhanced intelligent editing assistance, including auto-completion support for JavaServer Pages syntax and JSP custom tag attributes.

• WebAF includes an integrated Apache Tomcat2 servlet container to support embedded testing and debugging of both applets and web applications.

• The webAF debugger includes integration with the source editor to provide data-tips during debug sessions along with an enhanced variables view that highlights all variables modified since the last debugger command. The debugger also includes new web application debugging support and enhanced JSP and servlet debugging capabilities.

• WebAF supports team development through integration with source code control systems that use the Microsoft SCC interface.

New Components and Graph Style

SAS AppDev Studio 3.0 builds upon the rich component library from previous releases with a significant collection of new components, many of them included “by popular demand”. Here is just a sampling of the new components that are available:

• New adapters that support attaching the SAS AppDev Studio visual components (both Swing and JSP based) to JDBC data sources. This supports access to any data source for which there is a JDBC driver.

• New connection factory component that allows you to manage the SAS Business Intelligence Platform connection service, including administration of pools of back-end SAS workspace servers.

• New RemoteFileSelector component, which allows users to choose files from a variety of remote data stores (filesystems, SAS libraries, etc.).

• New server-side viewers that support web data entry and form based data navigation, new JSP custom tag viewers such as TreeView, ComboBoxView, ListBoxView, a variety of dual selector components, menu bar, and navigation bar.

• New Swing-based graphics for the client and associated server-side graphics generation components, including BarChart, BarLineChart, LineChart, LinePlot, PieChart, RadarChart, and ScatterPlot. All of the new graph components support the SAS 9.1 Graph Styles.
