Rogue Wave® JViews is a powerful toolkit that enables the development
of both Java desktop applications and Web applications. It is important
to know that both JViews desktop
applications and JViews Web applications
share the same graphic engine.
JViews desktop applications
are Java Swing/JFC applications and the rendered graphic views are
displayed on standalone screens. The development cycle, (design/coding/debugging/testing)
is faster.
JViews Web applications
distribute graphic views to Web browsers through networks. The development
cycle is much slower than for desktop applications.
The following tips make the Web development less arduous:
Prepare your graphic views first with JViews desktop applications. For example, if you want
to show a special diagram that requires some customized nodes or links
that are not shipped with JViews.
You can prepare these nodes and links with JViews desktop applications and test them with a simple
desktop application before placing the diagram in a Web context where
debugging and tuning take much longer.
