CAA - WEB APPLICATION COMPOSER enables business analyst or non developers to build visually and interactively user interfaces for composite application and leverage enterprise applications connectivity.
Product Overview
CAA - WEB APPLICATION COMPOSER (WAC) introduces a set of interactive tools that enable business analyst to quickly build user interfaces for composite e-application that involve multiple disparate information resources. It provides the capabilities to create the presentation layout as well as the business logic hidden behind it.
/ CAA - WEB APPLICATION COMPOSER (WAC) is relying upon IBM Rational Application Developer (IRAD) middleware, thus, providing to the users a standard development platform. User benefits from many advantages that include direct widgets drag drop on the page layout, interactive construction of the business logic, instant testing of the result page, etc.
