JGate Blog

Today we are announcing a new version of appjet.jar. As you know, AppJet Inc. has focused on other things and there have been no updates to the framework since 2008. Many links of the old jar still point to the appjet.com domain, which has been shut off since Google's takeover. Despite missing images some pages show some strange behavior due to the missing jquery.js library. For instance the callstack cannot be displayed anymore and footer links point to nowhere.

We have corrected all this plus we added an updated RESTful client. You can now use the platform to build RESTful servers and clients with GET, POST, PUT and DELETE methods, like the new CouchDB client. The new client allows it to talk to local and remote CloudDBs, like those offered by Cloudant.

Talking To CouchDB

See the couchdb-test application for details. You can use the public demo db also for you own tests. We will soon offer a private CouchDB addon for every user.

CouchDB offers dozens of new use cases. You can free your data, replicate databases across the Internet, talk to the database backend directly from the browser and many more.

Future Proof

All the new features can not only be used on our hosted platform, we will open source our additions and offer a new AppJet in a Jar distribution so that you can host your own server and use it as a local server on your development machine. Stay tuned.
