Know about Silverstream

Friends, I am working on interesting project under Retail Domain now.

The interesting factor is, i am working on the very old product called “SilverStream”. Its nearly 10 years and above old product. I am wondering to see the best way of handling Java Swing components in silverstream those days itself and surprising myself how its vanishing slowly in the market since they are the one who published Application Servers to the market those days.

Silverstream products are Silverstream Application Server and Silverstream Designer. The Designer is useful for developing swing based applications on the fly (similar to visual basic forms). Like visual basic data control, it provides control called ‘AgcData’ to manipulate with database (tables, views). And also Silverstream Designer is coupled with VSS for source code control. For client/server development those days, alternate to visual basic is Silverstream (proprietory).

Its really interesting to work with silverstream products but comparing to today’s world its not comparable to any

But Java Swing developers enjoy working with silverstream designer since it provides the easy GUI development (like how we have ‘Matisse’ today in NetBeans)
