JWAVE™ contains an open architecture that can help provide cost effective solutions in a wide range of Web-based applications. JWAVE has an open and extensible framework for all your computational and visualization needs. You can leverage your current investments using JWAVE by adhering to an open system architecture. With JWAVE your applications will conform to the three cornerstones of any open architecture - scalability, extendibility, and availability.

JWAVE can be described as a "graphics and numerics server" for Web-based applications. Any Java™ code such as applications, applets, servlets or EJB's can send requests to a JWAVE server and receive data and images back. You can pass as many parameters or data sets to the server in the form of name-value pairs as necessary, and the results are any number of name-value pairs, including charts and images.

JWAVE is based on a multi-tiered architecture that enables you to easily create applications that embrace open standards and will grow as your organization grows. Whether developing applications using the Java programming language or HTML and Java Server Pages, JWAVE allows users to perform numerical analysis and visual interpretation of large, complex data sets.

JWAVE's Open Architecture Supports Multiple Standards

The diagram above illustrates the basic JWAVE Architecture. The links below describe different ways in which this architecture can be implemented.
