IBM Rational EGL Rich Web Support
EGL is a programming language for defining all application tiers, including data access layers, business logic, services, and user interfaces. With EGL, you can easily access data from a relational database and declaratively attach business rules to the result, thus ensuring a consistent, company-wide, reusable business logic. EGL also supports exposure of this logic and data through services, applying service-oriented architectures such as Web services and REST services. With IBM® Rational® EGL Rich Web Support, it is finally possible to consume these services in a Web 2.0, Ajax-style user interface. By using one single language (EGL), business logic can be executed in diverse run-time environments, such as native COBOL services on System z®, Java™ on WebSphere®, or even a PHP bridge on System i®. The user interface is executed as rich clients inside a Web browser, using modern techniques such as Ajax and other Web 2.0 features. Applications can access relational data from a server and mash up the result in a browser in a unique and declarative approach made possible only by using IBM Rational EGL Rich Web Support.
