Validio gets HTML front-end for their Java GUI based application
Validio, one of the Pacific Northwest's premier independent contract programming companies, had developed a Java GUI application using Swing. The application was a year ago to help in collecting the information about client requirements and preferences for project development. Later on Validio saw the benefit of using the same application via the Internet when Validio's consultants were collecting input from their customers. Rewriting the application to be HTML based, while not too difficult, didn't seem to be a very exciting and cost effective solution. After evaluating WebCream Validio has decided to try using it to convert their Swing application into HTML based one. In less then 30 minutes they had a working version of the application that could be accessed from anywhere around the world. They had to do no programming and using GUI based wizard of WebCream console was an easy way to web-enable the application. Later on the original application was slightly modified to make it look even more effective when rendered as HTML.
