• Mandate
• To develop the first two packages of OWLs
  Platform SDK dynamic front-end interface
  framework to transcend the limitations of AWT and
  Swing They should be 100 Pure Java, easy to
  program and implement using standard Java
  development techniques and should enable
  development of advanced GUIs for true free form
  shapes, transparencies and draggability.

55
Projects at a Glance

• Our World Live Human Interface Package
• Challenge

  deadline of less than 3 months to fully develop,
  test and deploy this package.
• Solution
• SIPTECH delivered the OWL HIP project using a
  complete offshore project execution approach
  within the specified time. The OWL UI elements
  extend the capabilities of the AWT/Swing
  components to support free form shapes, dynamic
  transparency and drag-ability. Surrounding APIs
  as well as component classes are provided to
  construct user interfaces and their respective
  user interface elements that are fully
  customizable in their looks and behavior.

• Our World Live Human Interface Package
• Approach
• The first version was based on AWT and was
  developed in pure Java, compliant with Personal
  Java 1.2 and JDK 1.1.8.
• The second version was based on Swing and was
  compliant with J2SDK1.2. As a part of project
  planning, a complete complexity analysis of the
  AWT and Swing components was undertaken. This
  knowledge, was used to meet the specifications of
  the OWL HIP.
• Special focus was placed on the clarity and
  structure of the code and on conforming to Suns
  Java code notation guidelines.
• Testing was done on the line of SUN JDKs for
  Windows 98/2000/XP, the SUN Personal Java
  implementation (beta) for Windows CE and the
  Insignia Jeode VM for Windows CE.
• Result
• The result was the OWL HIP PJ and OWL HIP J2 that
  exceed the possibilities of AWT and Swing to
  render consistent graphical user interfaces
  across multiple environments.

  1.0 standard and can be deployed in any complying
  J2EE server. The adapter also implements the JCA
  Common Client Interface (CCI) which enables
  application components and Enterprise Application
  Integration (EAI) frameworks to drive
  interactions across heterogeneous EISs using a
  common client API.
• Wireless enabled Timesheet (Openwave) - Time
  logging system developed with Openwave.

• List of tasks
• NbJBoss - Developed an interface plug-in for
  integrating Netbeans IDE and the Open Source
  Jboss enterprise server. This interface allows a
  user of the NetBeans IDE to perform all tasks
  related to development, deployment and debugging
  of enterprise Java code on the Jboss server from
  within the NetBeans IDE.
• Secura 100 Java Licensing Tool used to license
  a wide range of products developed in Java
• SNMP Agent on TINI It is an interface through
  which the TINI can be controlled, using any
  commercially available SNMP Manager.
• Web Junit - Developed on top of Junit for use
  with whitebox test development. This test harness
  records the test results during the regression
  runs and facilitate the analysis of the test
  results over several regression test runs.
