Bangalore, India - November 09, 2002 - iCMG is happy
to announce the release of K2 Assembly Tool. This tool will
help in development of new business applications by assembly
of components where each component offers a specific set of
services for the application.
K2 Assembly Tool provides flexibility over 3-steps (develop,
package and deploy) component development process defined
by other component models. With this, CCM based K2 Component
Server supports complete process of Component Based Development
i.e. designing, developing, packaging, assembling, deployment
and executing the distributed components.
The business architects and assembler can create a domain
specific application by just making appropriate connection
between the business components using GUI based assembly tool.
These components could be newly developed (from scratch) or
components derived out of componentisation of legacy applications
deployed in a heterogeneous environment.
The assembly process includes component identification, instance
creation making connections, configure properties and preparing
for application deployment.
Key benefits:
Develop applications by assembly of components. This is critical
for the success of componentisation of business
environment, as there is growing customer demand for personalised
services.
Develop quality software and increase productivity as new
services are developed from existing component
warehouse.
The
process of "Assembly" will replace the complex process
of integration. The assemblers don't have
to worry about the implementation details of the components
such as language, location, OS etc and doesn't
have to make any programming level changes.
Architects
will have fine grained control over the application. This will
help architects to ensure that the components
have been developed as per original design, quality check and
simulate the environment of peak load requirement and make appropriate
performance improvement measures.
Key features of K2 Assembly Tool:
Develop applications by assembly of components
Assembly Wizard to create, build and deploy new assembly
Configure default values of component attributes
Easy configuration of connections between ports, using context
panel that offers supporting compatible
ports only ( i.e. selection of event sink will display list
of event sources for configuring connections
and vice versa)
Enables automatic registration of component home and instances
to Trader Service
Build component assembly archive (.aar) files
Editing of existing assembly archive
Maintains mapping of assembly id and application name, for
easier identification of assembly
application
Uses OMG's XML-based formats for storing meta information
for assembly archive, installation
and deployment
Integrated with deployment tool for assembly deployment
Manage active assembly application
Tear assembly application
