Extend 5250 Applications with Screen Scraping
Using a proven rules-based automated technology, Jacada delivers screen scraping for 5250 applications. Jacada for Java generates Java clients for 5250 applications without requiring any change to the existing application. Jacada for Java provides the modern graphical client features users expect from a robust e-business application. Applications generated with Jacada for Java deliver a persistent, secure, high-performance architecture for running sophisticated on-line business-to-business systems. The Java clients can then be deployed to any desktop, running any browser - thus leveraging the best of what thin client technology has to offer, more than mere screen scraping.
Screen Scraping Technology
Jacada for Java screen scraping offers a development environment that lets you make substantial changes to the new graphical interface portion of your 5250 application. Jacada for Java generates the Java client in 100% Java source code - each new graphical screen is generated as a Java class. In addition to the interface re-engineering capabilities provided in the Jacada for Java Software Development Kit (SDK), you can continue to extend and integrate the thin client applet by extending the Java screen classes. By modifying the generated classes and objects you can add functionality, integrate with other data sources, and link to other web applications. There's no end to the possibilities because Jacada takes you beyond screen scraping technology.
The Jacada for Java SDK is a powerful and intuitive graphical design tool enabling you to completely re-engineer the user experience, without requiring any modification to the existing 5250 applications.
