SmartClient combines the industry's richest set of cross-browser UI components with a Java server framework to provide an end-to-end solution for building business web applications.
Cleaner, Clearer Code
Empower your team to tackle complex, large-scale applications on pure web standards. SmartClient's modern class system enables you to cleanly encapsulate the modules and screens of your application, for a more maintainable and understandable codebase. Extend the built-in components via inheritance, call superclass methods, and share custom classes throughout your organization to get even more value out of your efforts. Deep support for automated testing enables a true enterprise-grade development process, so you can deploy with confidence.
Intelligent Data Management
Achieve unprecedented scalability and responsiveness with data services that eliminate redundant trips to the server. SmartClient's components have built-in awareness of data operations, so they know when already-fetched data can be re-used, and they know how to automatically update cached data. Stop hand-coding all the consequences of a form submit, and take the load off your database at the same time!
Mobile Support without a Rewrite
Even if you know nothing about mobile development, your SmartClient application supports mobile. Finger taps and gestures arrive as normal mouse events, so your event handlers just work — users can even trigger context menus and hovers via touch-and-hold, and drag and drop via finger slides. Device-aware components automatically switch appearance and behavior to mimic typical mobile UIs.
Want more control? Gesture & orientation change events, as well as native functions like phone dialing are all there to let you fully tune the mobile experience.
Deep Server Integration
SmartClient's extensive server-side components take you well beyond mere widgets, providing a complete RIA framework. Stop hand-assembling forms and grids: SmartClient lets you generate a default UI dynamically, directly from your server-side data model, then customize any part of it without losing auto-generation.
Keep client and server behavior in sync by driving validation and security rules from a single, declarative definition. Built in connectors for JPA/Hibernate, Spring and SQL ensure that you write business logic instead of boilerplate code, and make it easy to build screens with advanced master-detail editing and transactional drag and drop.
Enterprise Grade UI Components
SmartClient delivers the broadest and deepest set of UI components
available. Our amazing grid components have out-of-the-box support for everything a true
enterprise-grade application needs: users can edit inline, freeze columns, sort by multiple
columns, group-by-value, expand rows, auto-fit, filter inline, add formula columns, add
highlighting rules, export, make charts — and that's just grids!
