Primebase Web Applications

Print

PrimeBase is an integrated, open development system for the creation of internet, intranet and wireless applications (Web & Mobile Applications) in a remarkably short development phase. These applications are programs based on Internet standards, and often have Web-browser hosted user interfaces.
But it’s possibilities go way beyond the creation of Web applications. PrimeBase can act as middleware, tying diverse systems together. PrimeBase can also act as an e-Business platform or as the basis of an industrial controller system.

An application server is so called, because it runs applications on behalf of a client program. In the case of the PrimeBase Application Server this is a Web-browser or any other internet/intranet "user agent", such as a Java applet, or even some other application server. Application serving adds a 3rd layer to the traditional client/server-computing model. For this reason application servers provide, what is known as, a 3-tier architecture. The three tiers are the user interface (client program), the application (business logic) and the database (persistent storage). This architecture has become very popular, particularly with the advent of the Internet, because it has many advantages. In particular, it centralizes administration, maintenance, access control and security of an application.
 

The PrimeBase Application Server (PBAS) is one of the key components of the PrimeBase System. The PrimeBase Application Server supports the Internet transport standard HTTP and also works together with Web servers to forge the link between Internet user-agents and the PrimeBase System. In doing this, it uses a technology unique to PrimeBase known as "LiveTags™". LiveTags™ is a technique by which standard HTML or XML tags are filled or replaced with dynamic content. Therefore code and layout of any application are being separated totally. This is a significant ease to administrating applications. Through support for the Common Gateway Interface (CGI) and support for native modules and shared libraries, PBAS runs with numerous Web servers, including Apache, MS Internet Information Server, iPlanet (formerly Netscape) Web server and WebSTAR. The PrimeBase Application Server relies on the PrimeBase Virtual Machine, to execute the applications it hosts. These applications, in turn have complete access to the entire PrimeBase system and 3rd party systems as provided by the virtual machine. For further details on the functioning of the PrimeBase Application Server, please read the PrimeBase Application Server User's Guide.
