Original Press Release:
IBM WebSphere Studio Enterprise Developer V5.1.1 Brings J2EE, Web Services, Rapid Development, and Teaming to Diverse Java, COBOL, and PL/I Application Environments
Overview
IBM WebSphere® Studio Enterprise Developer V5.1.1 brings the power of Java(TM) 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE), rapid application development, and support to diverse enterprise application development teams. With comprehensive development tools to help create, deploy, and maintain enterprise Web
applications, developers from different technical backgrounds can easily participate in e-business projects together. As traditional programmers collaborate in the development process, their exposure to new technologies increases while they continue to leverage their existing skills.
WebSphere Studio Enterprise Developer is IBM's premier
enterprise application development environment for building and
maintaining J2EE and Web services applications in addition to developing and extending CICS® , IMS(TM), and Batch COBOL and PL/I mixed workload processing.
New in V5.1.1
o Support for Enterprise COBOL for z/OS® V3.3 and Enterprise PL/I for z/OS V3.3
o Upgraded local COBOL and PL/I compiler syntax
o z/OS-based Web Service Generation, including High Speed
COBOL parsing with support for XML Schema Definition (XSD)
mapping and CICS Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) support
o PL/I language enhancements, including code assist, documentation helpers, and enhanced outline view
o Extended z/OS Batch Queue Management, enabling selection and output viewing of individual steps
o Integrated Unified Model Language (UML) Visual Editing for Java to create, edit, and print UML class diagrams
o Support for building Web Services Interoperability (WS-I) compliant Web services using the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) Editor and Web Services Explorer
o Struts 1.1 support for simplified application development on the latest Struts framework
o Improved performance for builds, test server startup, EJB
deployment, and UI intensive development
o Developer access to IBM Host Access Transformation Services,
supporting rapid Web enablement of traditional z/OS-based
applications
Planned availability dates
