BOScom's Jadvantage v. 5.0

Jadvantage is Java-based connectivity and emulation software that allows programmers to transform AS/400 and iSeries applications into Web applications without touching the code! Green-screens are turned into function-rich and graphically pleasing interfaces. Jadvantage's built-in toolbox allows you to customize applications by using fonts, colors, and pictures; creating tables, time-saving macros, and drop-down list boxes; replacing texts with graphic action buttons; and setting up hotlinks to HTTP and FTP sites and associated pictures. Propagation of the code is unbelievably simple: There is no client install--users simply access the Jadvantage server (PC workstation or iSeries directory) via their Web browser.

Developer's Take:
"We wanted to cut down the time and effort needed to adapt midrange applications to the Web environment. Many shops want to open up certain areas of their applications to remote workers, distributors, suppliers, and customers, so it is important for them that the application look attractive and be easy to use. Jadvantage lets you concentrate on the functionality and logical processes in the application, rather than on troubleshooting the code."
--Ornat Kenny, Jadvantage developer
