IBM® Rational® Business
Developer, an integrated development environment for the EGL language, enables
IT organizations to build innovative solutions while:
- Improving flexibility and responsiveness to the business
- Reducing costs by improving developer productivity
- Reusing existing, proven assets in new ways
IBM Rational Business
Developer lets IT organizations achieve increased levels of application development
productivity and enables business savvy developers to exploit emerging computing
technologies to fulfill new and changing business requirements with minimum
retraining costs and time.
EGL1, the newest IBM business language, frees developers
to focus on the business problem rather than on the details of the target
execution platforms and associated middleware. EGL is ideal for business-oriented
development teams who value ease of learning and high productivity, but need
to quickly deliver modern applications and services.
EGL Rich UI enables organizations to quickly deliver rich Web 2.0-style
solutions without needing to learn or program the intricacies of Ajax, JavaScript™,
REST, HTML, or XML. IBM Rational Business Developer enables organizations
to build these solutions in a single language (EGL), which enables developers
to focus on what needs to be delivered, and not on the various low-level technologies
that are required to deliver it.

Back to top
The industry-wide adoption of Web 2.0 is changing the way people use and
exchange information and how businesses operate on the Web today. Prior to
Web 2.0, Web sites were static pages with content offered by just a single
provider. With Web 2.0, pages are constructed more dynamically and can include
content from the original provider, from users, and from third parties. User
involvement, personalization, and client-side application aggregation engages
the user and results in more productive interaction. With Web 2.0, business
can deliver external and internal solutions by modernizing and extending existing
assets in innovative ways, while harvesting services dispersed across the
Internet. To deal with the challenges of building these rich, browser-based
applications, Web 2.0 technologies are based on simpler programming models.
Those techniques accelerate time to market by improving the consumption of
existing enterprise assets. Web 2.0 is all about using the Internet creatively,
as a platform to foster innovation, speed and simplicity.
Building Web 2.0 applications today requires intimate knowledge of low-level
technologies that include Ajax, JavaScript, dojo, REST, JSON, Atom,
RSS, CSS, HTTPS, HTML, Mashups, and XML. Each of these technologies addresses
only a small part of the puzzle. Building a cohesive solution is left to the
developer. With IBM Rational Business
Developer V7.5.1 and the included EGL Rich UI technology, organizations can
quickly deliver rich Web 2.0-style solutions without the need to learn these
low-level techniques. With EGL, organizations have the ability to build complete
solutions, including front-end user interfaces and back-end services, and
business logic using a single simple language. This unique ability to combine
EGL across the application tiers, allows businesses to leverage critical,
proven enterprise assets and make them available to other organizations, partners,
and users in new and more modern and powerful ways. Web 2.0-style applications
help improve productivity and enable innovative business processes through
a more responsive and rich user experience.
Benefits of EGL Rich UI and Web 2.0 include:
- Reduce development costs, accelerate time to market, and deliver higher
quality modern Web 2.0-based business solutions as rich Internet-style applications
- Allow higher productivity due to simplicity of the solution
- Deliver a responsive, rich Internet application interface
- Provide a shorter learning curve and training costs: developers only need
to learn one language (EGL) in order to build both back-end business logic
and services and front-end user interfaces and client side logic
- Include cross-browser support; write once, but run in all of the popular
browsers
- Extend the value and the life of reliable business logic contained in System
z® and IBM i
applications. Leverage these assets in transactional services within innovative
composite applications that significantly improve users experience and productivity
- Allow seamless integration of enterprise information and processes with
other source of information, data, or service across the enterprise or Web
to better serve users, customers, and partners. This technology is referred
to as "mashups"
- Take advantage of emerging SOA-based industry-vertical services or presentation
libraries. Examples are Google charts, Google Maps, Dojo, Silverlight, Flash,
SAP, and Xignite.
- Lower the skills barrier and leverage traditional business-oriented developers
while delivering innovative and powerful state-of-the-art solutions to the
business.
- Provide Web application developers with a faster and more agile approach
to building Web 2.0 applications.
Because of the simple and powerful EGL interoperability with existing assets
and services, EGL Rich UI provides the industry-leading solution for modernizing
traditional applications running on System z or IBM i. With EGL Rich UI, proven, reliable
assets can be reused and delivered in new ways and to new audiences, all without
rewriting or reengineering. Because EGL Rich UI has the ability to call both
REST and SOAP services, traditional programs can be exposed as services using
tools such as IBM Rational Developer
for System
z and IBM Rational Developer
for i for SOA Construction. With EGL Rich UI, legacy applications and data
can be leveraged along with emerging Internet and B2B2 SOA3-
based services to quickly provide powerful, innovative, enterprise-level,
customer-friendly Web solutions.
In this new release of IBM Rational Business Develper, IBM extends the state of the art application
development facilities to the zVSE users community. VSE users can now use
EGL as a modern development language for deploying Web and SOA applications
that extend their valuable investment in data and program assets on the trusted
zVSE platform.

- Service oriented architecture
The EGL Cafe (http://www.ibm.com/rational/eglcafe), an online community
for EGL practitioners, enables collaboration between EGL developers around
the world and a place for EGL Rich UI components to be shared. With this component
marketplace, the community of EGL developers will help each other create solutions
that increase productivity and improve user experience for mission-critical
Web 2.0-based business applications.

IBM Rational Business
Developer delivers the latest technology tools to support the definition and
testing and debugging of EGL applications and services. It also offers a generation
engine that transforms the EGL source into Java™ or COBOL code optimized for deployment
to a broad variety of application hosting environments including J2EE servers
(such as WebSphere®,
Apache Tomcat, IBM i
Integrated Application Server) and traditional transactional systems (such
as IBM System
z, CICS®,
and Information Management System (IMS™) or IBM i).
EGL hides the details of the target execution platforms and associated
middleware, freeing developers to focus on the business problem rather than
on the underlying implementation technologies. Developers who have little
or no experience with Java and Web technologies can use EGL to
create enterprise-class services and applications quickly and easily. Developers
with little or no experience with mainframe programming can quickly create
highly optimized System z or IBM i services and applications.
IBM recognizes
that the construction of cross-platform, Web-based and service-oriented solution
poses significant technical challenges that require a long and continuous
learning process. This issue is not new in our industry. With each computing
technology revolution came new technical programming challenges that taxed
developers' time in terms of learning and coding intricate systems services
interfaces at the expense of time devoted to coding business functionality.
IBM Rational Business
Developer provides a comprehensive and powerful development workbench for
the EGL language. It addresses the full spectrum of modern business application
requirements including development of:
- Business services: The language includes the built-in notion of
"service" allowing you to create and invoke services in an extremely simple
and straightforward way, and to permeate systems architecture with service
orientation.
- Web applications: Tight integration of EGL with Java Server
Faces (JSF) framework and JSF tooling enables programmers to create Web applications
in a simple and productive way, without the need to know either Java or
the details of the JSF framework.
- Rich Internet applications (RIAs): With EGL Rich UI, organizations
have the tools to build rich, responsive client-based applications that access
Web services to provide.
- Portlets: EGL JSF Web applications can also be deployed to WebSphere Portal
Server, and EGL provides built-in functions to interface the portal framework,
including support for inter-portlet communications.
- Reports: EGL integration with the BIRT, an open source reporting
engine, allows you to create professional reports.
- Batch systems: The language includes the built-in notion of "batch
program", which can be generated to run without end-user interaction; for
example, to produce reports or to batch database loads and updates.
- Text user-interface applications: To facilitate migration of existing
systems to a modern development environment, EGL includes the ability to create
traditional character-based (green-screen, such as 5250 and 3270) user interfaces
and relative programming constructs. This capability can also be used for
new development if needed.
New capabilities delivered in IBM Rational Business Developer V7.5 and
available in V7.5.1
- Support for deployment of JSF Web applications and services to WebSphere Application
Server V7.0
- Support for deployment of portlets to WebSphere Portal V6.1

applications and transform them into the IBM Rational Software Development Platform,
specifically IBM Rational Business
Developer featuring EGL technology. It provides a cost-effective way to modernize
and transform these systems and breathe new life into applications that were
considered to be on life support. Refer to Software Announcement 208-162, dated June 24, 2008, for more information.
IBM Rational Business
Developer also allows organizations to easily reuse and extend valuable existing
IT assets, including automated conversion of IBM VisualAge Generator applications to
EGL.
Support for generation to z/VSE
Two new offerings enable EGL to be deployed and run on the z/VSE platform. IBM Rational Business
Developer Extension for VSE V7.5.1 enables generation of COBOL capable of
running on z/VSE within IBM Rational Business
Developer. IBM Rational COBOL
Runtime for z/VSE V7.5.1
provides the required EGL runtime libraries for z/VSE. Together, these offerings enable
the generation of EGL as COBOL source that can be compiled and deployed to z/VSE.
Code can be deployed as traditional 3270 CICS applications, traditional batch applications,
or programs capable of being invoked from an EGL Web front-end or EGL service,
which can be deployed on a distributed application server. This new offering
helps deliver Web 2.0, SOA, and Web solutions for z/VSE.
