CodeFutures™ Enables Rapid Prototyping with FireStorm/DAO™ 2.2

[London , UK , September 7, 2004] CodeFutures™ has announced the General Availability of Release 2.2 of its FireStorm/DAO™ Java code generation tool for data persistence.

FireStorm/DAO generates a complete Web application for interacting with the generated DAO tier. The generated application is based on the Apache Struts framework and contains full functionality for inserting, updating, deleting, and searching records using the DAO tier.

The results from code generation are immediate. This means that multiple solutions to any specific business problem can be examined very quickly.

"We specialize in fast, high-value projects with real, hard deadlines under must-win business scenarios - so the rapid prototyping provided by FireStorm/DAO™ directly aligns with our business model." Alex Shmelev, President, Alerois Corporation

According to CodeFutures CTO, Andy Grove  "The new client generation feature makes FireStorm/DAO ideal for rapid prototyping and proof of concept projects.  In a matter of seconds, developers can produce an end-to-end application ".

"FireStorm/DAO streamlines the development of our Web-based applications.  In seconds, it generates flawless code that could take development staff days to produce and then test.  We also get the added benefits of a robust, consistent, and maintainable data access model, rather than hand-coded SQL statements throughout the code base." Tom Patterson, Senior Software Engineer, Eoscene Corporation.
