WebORB Updates & New Release

We just announced in our Midnight Coders Monthly Newsletter that we will be releasing Version 4 of WebORB for .NET and WebORB for Java at the end of the month. These will be beta releases and will include many new productivity features that will help developers code faster, easier and reduce overall project cost (bosses and customers will be happy about that).

The following is what is new in version 4.0 for WebORB for .NET and WebORB for Java.

• integration with Data Modeler in Flash Builder v.4
• pluggable user-defined code generators
• updated code generator for Cairngorm and PureMVC
• new code generators for Mate and Swiz frameworks
• all code generators support auto-creation of Flex Builder project files
• support for .NET RIA Services (experimental feature) (WebORB for .NET only)
• pluggable user-defined service browsers for the Management Console
• service browser for XML/SOAP web services
• service browser for WCF services
• support for AMF behavior for WCF services
• support for client/server property renaming via .NET attributes and Java annotations
• improved code generation to support multiple namespaces and class hierarchies
• support for IExternalizable (WebORB for Java only)

Version 4 Beta will be available end of month. Customers that have purchased WebORB Enterprise Edition will need to contact their account manager to receive a new license key for version 4. (Must have an active support plan.)
