The BASIS BBj Thin Client is the choice for your deployment as a feature-rich Java application. Using Java WebStart, the installation effort is almost zero - there is no need to install the Thin Client on each workstation or update the versions manually. Users start their application using a simple http-link, and WebStart will automatically install or update the BBj Thin Client and start your app - on any Java-enabled client operating system.
The BBj Thin Client establishes a stateful, encrypted TCP/IP connection to the BBj Service on your server, providing a rich interactive user experience combined with very little bandwith requirements. Your server will have a reduced load, have better scalability, and your end users will enjoy a quick and feature-rich application.
The key advantages of the BBj Thin Cient are:
1. Feature-Rich Interactive User Experience
The BBj Thin Client establishes a stateful bi-directional TCP/IP connection with the BBj service on your server. Business rules and methods can be executed wherever they should be to ensure best performance - either on the client processor or on the server. Even though BBj provides a host of ready-to-use controls for the development of complete GUI applications, you can also freely chose from a wide range of available standard and 3rd party Java components. The BBj architecture takes care of everything that is needed to run your programs on the server, but displays the UI controls within the Thin Client. Just instantiate the class and use it - the BBj architecture will handle the rest!
2. Goodbye Browser Compatibility Issues
A BBj application - including Barista and AddOn Software - is deployed as a "real" application. There are no browser-dependent functions preventing a uniform performance of your application for all users. Although a BBj application is not browser based, you can deploy it on any operating system and platform without the need for additional testing or rewriting code.
3. Optimized Server Usage
Due to the built-in standard control set to handle almost any business application tasks, many business and validation rules are executed in the Thin Client. This reduces server load and network traffic and again improves the overall user experience of your application.
