Xi Client

With the PKS Xi Client technology, 3270 applications are converted automatically to modern frontends.

Product Description

The Xi Client technology is based on Ajax and is very easy to program. This allows the customer’s existing developer team to make a smooth transition without having to acquire any special additional technical knowledge. The Xi client extracts its information directly from the legacy application or programs and therefore gets by without the hassle of the 3270 protocol.

Through the use of the AJAX/JSON technology, asynchronous messaging and keyboard buffering can be utilized. The AJAX/JSON technology also makes it possible to dynamically attach objects in the DOM tree in an unusually efficient, high-performance manner. The data volume to be transmitted between the web server and browser is thus reduced to a minimum. This gives your application the typical look and feel of Web 2.0 apps. Flickered paging is a thing of the past—the web application almost feels like a real desktop app. Based on your needs, the existing set of displayable widgets can be extended using the most modern controls with efficient response times. The Xi Client technology supports lightweight threads with thread pooling and therefore offers web application server compliant thread maintenance. The highly scalable, high-performance framework of Java is thus fully utilized.
