July 15, 200223 yr 360Works today announced the beta release of WooF, a JDBC adaptor for using WebObjects with FileMaker Pro. This software allows WebObjects to utilize FileMaker Pro as a back-end database for creating high-volume, scalable web applications. This software will allow FileMaker developers to create Java-based web sites that will greatly exceed the transaction volumes that would have been possible with traditional FileMaker web publishing techniques, such as using the built-in Web Companion software. It is targeted towards advanced FileMaker developers who have run into limitations on the speed and complexity that they can achieve using the built-in web publishing tools. In addition to basic insert/edit/delete operations, WooF supports these FileMaker-specific features: * Support for FileMaker Pro calculations. * Support for all FileMaker Pro data types - text, number, date, time, and containers. * Support for FileMaker Pro's built-in serial number generation for primary keys. * Supports spaces and special characters in FileMaker databases and field names. * Optionally specify layouts in FileMaker for even better performance. * Easy installation - works fine with existing WebObjects applications.
