See us at JavaOne and CommunityOne!

We are at Booth 125 in the JavaOne pavillion.

dotFX provides a way of developing, deploying, running and managing real client and desktop software over the Internet. In contrast to a browser based web application, software can run on your desktop with the performance, access and intimacy that you would expect from real client software. dotFX technology has been in development for four years by a team of entrepreneurs based in Silicon Valley.

Advantages

Built for Java and JavaFX

icon

ClientFX was designed from the ground up to deliver Rich Internet Applications written in Java or JavaFX Script. Existing Java assets like Swing Applications and J2EE code can be instantly leveraged.

Browser compatible

icon

ClientFX is a plug-in that allows fx:// links to be clicked in a browser or click-to-run applications to be resident on your desktop using InstallerFX.

Secure from ground up

Icon

dotFX is built on a coherent security model designed from the start as a core part of the dotFX architecture.

Automatic updates

Icon

When an fx:// application or web link is clicked the application runs locally. After running an applicaton it is cached locally. When an application changes or is upgraded, or features are added, just those changes are updated.

Install only once

Icon

Applications are always up to date, but so is ClientFX. dotFX technology is also transparently updated and so an application never needs to be re-installed. There will not be a 'player' versus application compatibility problem. Installer applications made by InstallerFX never need to be updated even between releases !

Always up to date, Online or Offline

Icon

ClientFX code is delivered just in time, and only as needed. If only one class changes in the server repository all clients will get that update live and incrementally. Applications can be micro-patched after first release and with little or no noticable impact on the end user. Applications can be made to run online or offline with little tax on the developer.

Other features

  • Click to run.
  • Enabled full client software distribution.
  • Clients are always up to date.
  • Has a coherent security model.
  • NO 'Trust/No Trust' message at startup.
  • Full server admin interface.
  • High reliability and security - it's Java !
