For Immediate Release: San Francisco, CA - July 23, 2001 - Today SmartMode released Version 1.0 of its category leading Rapid JavaServer Pages (JSP) Development tools, available for download from http://www.smartmode.com. SmartMode enables JSP and Servlet developers to build dynamic, interactive web sites with distinct display, business logic, and database layers in minutes, resulting in radically reduced costs and an accelerated time to market. Because SmartMode integrates with most application servers and IDEs, developers can immediately take advantage of SmartMode's time- and cost-saving features. "SmartMode starts you with a great framework and powerful tools for developing scalable JSP sites and it encourages good practices going forward," said Oleg Proudnikov, CEO of Tigne Services. "SmartMode does magical things out of the box and opens a wide range of possibilities." With over 1,000 downloads during the beta period, SmartMode users include large and small-scale technology consulting firms, Fortune 1000 financial services companies, health care organizations, federal institutions, and electronic commerce companies. "We are very excited about SmartMode's customer wins," said David Pollak, SmartMode's CTO. "Over the coming months, we'll be building new features into SmartMode, adding a visual interface that enhances the power of the product, and responding to user and partner feedback." SmartMode Version 1.0 features easier installation, enhanced documentation and tutorials, tag library support, compatibility with Linux, Solaris, Windows NT/2000, and Mac OS X, support for more application servers including BEA WebLogic, IBM WebSphere, Borland AppServer and Tomcat, as well as support for databases including Oracle 8i, Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB/2 and PostgreSQL. SmartMode reduces web site development time and costs by 50% or more while enhancing maintainability and scalability of enterprise web sites. Information architects use SmartMode SiteMap to set up a site in minutes and ensure a consistent user experience. HTML developers use SmartMode Wizard to instantly create transactional multi-screen data entry wizards that map between JavaBeans and Enterprise JavaBeans and HTML forms. Java architects define data schemas using the SmartMode Halogen object-relational mapping tool, which ensures schema consistency across Java, SQL databases, and XML. SmartMode dynamically generates Java classes that can be invoked from JSP pages, Servlets, and other Java programs. Developers benefit from SmartMode's open, standards-based approach, which preserves investments in existing tools, training, and infrastructure. SmartMode interoperates with JSP 1.1 JavaServer Pages and Servlet 2.2 engines including BEA WebLogic 6.x, IBM WebSphere 4.0+, Tomcat, and Borland AppServer. SmartMode works on Linux, Solaris, Windows NT/2000, and Mac OS X. SmartMode Halogen maps Java objects and Enterprise JavaBeans to Oracle 8i, Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB/2, PostgreSQL 7.1, and HSQLDB. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Download SmartMode Version 1.0 from www.smartmode.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------ <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META NAME="Generator" CONTENT="MS Exchange Server version 5.5.2653.12"> <TITLE>Press Release: SmartMode Releases Version 1.0</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <P><FONT SIZE=2>For Immediate Release:</FONT> </P> <P><FONT SIZE=2>San Francisco, CA - July 23, 2001 - Today SmartMode released Version 1.0 of its category leading Rapid JavaServer Pages (JSP) Development tools, available for download from <A HREF="http://www.smartmode.com" TARGET="_blank">http://www.smartmode.com</A>.
