The WaveMaker Ajax Framework (formerly ActiveGrid) is an open source software development framework that allows web developers to create Ajax applications. The framework itself integrates ACEGI, Dojo 1.0, authentication, LDAP, ActiveDirectory and POJOs and their products include Visual Ajax Studio 4.0 for RIAs developement and WaveMaker Rapid Deployment Server for Java application. [1]
WaveMaker is licensed both under the Affero General Public License version 3.0.[2] and under a non-free commercial license which does not require the source for derivative work to be opensourced.[3]
WaveMaker applications are created using the WaveMaker studio, a WYSIWYG development studio that runs in a browser and enables drag and drop development of web applications following a Model-view-controller architecture. The WaveMaker studio is based on the TurboAjax Studio, developed by Scott Miles, module owner for Dojo Grid, and Steve Orvell, core committer for Dojo.[4]
WaveMaker applications run in a standard Java server based on Apache Tomcat, the Dojo Toolkit, Spring and Hibernate. Currently, it is supported on Microsoft Windows, Linux and Macintosh.[5][6]
As an example of level of complexity of applications which can be build using an WYSIWYG development approach for Ajax applications, the WaveMaker Studio was built using WaveMaker. [7] WaveMaker is meant for use by web developers who prefer visual tools.[8]
