The Rational Application Developer
was developed by IBM to provide a complete solution for the development of the
applications which are otherwise are difficult to be built. It
creates an integrated environment for you to work in. The work bench platform
can be further extended to meet your specific requirements.
The Rational Application Developer by default supports two SCM systems (software
configuration management systems) namely:
- SCM adapter plug–in: This is included for the CVS systems (concurrent version system). This
is so because the eclipse only supports the open source SCM system which
is none other than the CVS.
- Rational clear case
SCM adapter plug–in: This is automatically installed by the rational
application developer. However the clear case client needs to be installed
separately.
Before using either of the above
mentioned adapters, you should enable the appropriate one.
About Rational Application Developer
- Rational application
developer is a great tool for the development of web application since its work
bench offers you a number of tools that you might require for developing your
applications.
- The application may range from web sites to static web pages to
complex web applications which make use of JSP files or java servlets.
- A web
project consists of all these resources, web resources and deployment
descriptors.
- Rational application developer can also be used for the development
of portal as well as portlet applications.
- The tools provided by the rational
application developer run well on web sphere portal.
- Rational application
developer has it all that is required for the development of portal – views,
wizards and specialized editors.
- All these ease the creation of the portal
sites.
- Java development tools of the rational application developer assist you
in building and running the java programs that have been optimized.
- Tools
consist of a UML diagram editor and a visual editor as well.
- The client, data
tiers and servers can be segregated using the J2EE specifications for the
enterprise applications.
- It has also got some relation data base tools using
which the work regarding the data access applications can be defined.
- You can
work with the following:
- Tables
- Views
- Filters
- SQL
- DB2
- UDB routines
- SQLJ files
- SQL DDL files
- DADX files
- XML files and so on.
- Not only this, a number of
enterprise applications can be developed and tested in the specialized
environment dedicated to this by the rational application developer.
- The
following tasks can also be carried out:
- Writing and editing
business logic
- Importing and
exporting enterprise applications
- Maintenance of the
source code
- Generating code
using java development tools
- An already existing system can be
redesigned to achieve better maintenance of the design.
- This IBM product also
comes with tools to assist you in discovering, transforming, and creating,
deploying, building, developing, testing and publishing the web services.
- Thus, it is a web service development package also.
- A web service consists of many
application functions that are related to each other and can be invoked over
the internet.
- These web services can be mixed and matched by the businesses for
carrying out complex transformations involving just required amount of
programming.
- Rational application developer has proved to be quite a great tool
in developing the EGL (enterprise generation language) applications.
- EGL are
the languages which help you write code for full functions applications as
quickly as possible.
- It lets you focus up on the business problems rather than
its development technology.
- It can be used for the creation of a text user
interface, basic batch, as well as web applications.
