CNT
Standardizes on JDXTM for JavaTM Object-Relational
Mapping Technology
JDX
to provide seamless connectivity with SQL databases for Internet/intranet
business process integration
San
Jose, CA - Oct 26, 2000 - Software Tree, Inc. announced
today that the Enterprise Integration Solutions division of
CNT (Nasdaq: CMNT) has licensed its JDX technology to provide
high-performance, object-oriented access to corporate relational
databases. CNT's enterprise application integration (EAI)
technology will use JDX as a critical component of a framework
providing a powerful and flexible solution for integrating
business processes across Internet and intranet.
CNT evaluated several products and chose JDX for the object-relational
mapping technology because JDX provided the best-of-breed
enterprise-class, scalable and robust functionality to automate
one of the most critical and complex needs of modern applications
- efficiently exchanging business objects with SQL relational
databases.
"We found JDX to be the most innovative and powerful
technology not only from the functional and performance point
of views but also because how easily it could be integrated
within our sophisticated framework," said Ellen Koch,
VP of Marketing for the Enterprise Integration Solutions division
of CNT. "The well-designed features of this carefully
architected product have given us a lot of flexibility with
our business object modeling and resulted in dramatic increases
in programmer productivity."
"It is very gratifying to have yet another real-world
validation of our world-class technology from a leading
company like CNT, " said Damodar Periwal, President
and CEO of Software Tree. "We believe that representing
data as instances of programmable objects is the most optimal
and efficient way of developing new breed of distributed
applications. Since most of the business data resides in
relational backends, object-relational mapping has become
a fundamental need for the new generation of applications.
JDX meets this need with a high-performance, scalable and
easy-to-use solution that cuts down the time-to-market significantly.
With JDX, Java developers can concentrate on business logic
instead of wasting time on tedious infrastructure programming."
