Do you want your system to still work with all popular browsers three years from now? Do you want to make your system available as an iPhone, iPad or Android app in the near future? You have come to the right place!
Until recently, developing a web application implied continuous building and rebuilding. QAFE puts an end to that. Because the presentation layer (the user interface) is kept separate from the business logic, the platform is able to make the underlying processes accessible to any web technology, be it Google Web Toolkit, Adobe Flex or HTML5. QAFE will ensure that you’re perfectly in sync with a continuously evolving world.
We like to think QAFE is a dream come true for developers. But the benefits reeped on an organizational level can even be bigger. This is because QAFE not only increases Application Development speed dramatically, it seemlessly integrates with áll traditional systems and databases.
Save time; big time!
When you develop a technology-independent application in QAFE, you are working in a future-proof environment. QAFE not only supports current Web2.0 platforms, like GWT and Adobe Flex, but also future ones. You don’t need to worry about the details. Thanks to QAFE, you can tackle the important tasks and ignore the fads.
Productivity boost
To increase the speed of development, we also have a wide range of tools to boost your productivity. So QAFE is great for business, fantastic for developers and, most importantly, it offers major relief for application users. It liberates your users from the “F5 refresh” syndrome, because your web application is dynamic, fetching and submitting data asynchronously, continuously.
Easily accessible: highly productive
Developers can get to work immediately. Time-to-market is no longer a factor in the decision-making process. Quite the opposite: it becomes the deal-maker.
Open Source
QAFE’s engine offers an Open Source Community Edition.
Open architecture
QAFE does not require you to adapt your organization’s current IT architecture. It Integrates seamlessly with existing databases and systems. Naturally, it goes both ways: QAFE also offers APIs that enable you to extend its open architecture.
Service Oriented Architecture
QAFE is the world’s first Web 2.0 application development platform that is entirely based on SOA principles.
Future-proof
As we mentioned in the first paragraph QAFE is presentation-technology agnostic: Google WebToolkit, Adobe Flex, you name it, you got it!

Modern Enterprise Applications made easy
Web2.0 + SOA = QAFE
As you know most SOAs are able to tie things together, but the services are not necessarily intelligent. The data and the logic remain in the familiar environment, like in stored procedures in your database or even in Cobol. Today, some web applications frameworks, such as Flex and GWT, offer the ability to interact with your backend services. But which of the two would you choose (if it was a choice between those two only)? Here’s our take.
Qualogy joined W3C!
Qualogy, the organization behind QAFE, is proud to announce that the company joined W3C.
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international community that develops standards to ensure the long-term growth of the Web. For QAFE that means that we propose the QAML, QAFE Markup Language, to be a standard. QAML has the unique feature that it combines technology independent declarative UI with declaratively SOA enabling backend technologies. The SOA enabling part is also in a technology independent way.

Ad in Optimize Magazine
One of the products of QAFE is the Oracle Forms Conversion tool. With this tool we migrate Oracle Forms (from 6i and higher) to Web2.0 and SOA. To promote this product, we have created an ad and we are publishing this in the next Optmize Magazine, and independent Magazine for Oracle Professionals in the Netherlands. (more…)
In depth: Database Resource
On the QAFE demo siteyou’ll see another sample application called “Database Sysdate Demo”. (more…)
In depth: Java Resource
On the QAFE demo site you’ll see a sample application called “Random Demo”.
This class uses a direct link with the java.util.Random class which can be found in this rt.jar (distributed with every JDK installation). To use this class in QAFE, we make a “link” to this class by defining a resource. A QAFE Resource is the “connection” between the real implementation and the “source” for service definitions in QAFE. (more…)
QAML's XSD's
Structured documents like XML files can be validated on their contents using DTD (Document Type Definition) or XSD (XML Schema Definition).
At QAFE we use XSD’s to validate the contents of the applications. In the previous post we also mentioned the Application Context, the startup file for QAFE. This indicates that we use more that one XSD. Futhermore, there is another XSD, which is needed in case database are directly referenced from a resource (and not from a Java file). (more…)
How to: Large XML/QAML files
Of course, one of the most frequent found comments on XML in general is that the XML files can become quite large (maintainability would suffer). When you are using versioning systems like CVS or SVN, merging situations can occur and will result in invalid XML. The problem becomes bigger of course if the file is large.
We recognized this issue when designing QAFE and tackled this problem by supporting automatic merging of QAML, QAFE’s XML, files. (more…)
QAFE Demo: "Try Me" (part 1)
When you click on the “Try Demo” on the main page, you’ll see the showcase “QAFE” application and some code snippets.
In the menu bar (see image) you’ll find the “Try Me” menu-item. This will open the a window which is meant purely for demo purposes and maybe even prototyping (e.g., for business analysts).
