ClassMate
Product Information

ClassMate is an advanced development framework and visual toolset for building highly scalable Smalltalk application components supporting, reuse, distributed function, application partitioning and transaction processing through tight integration with both commercial open systems transaction monitors such as the Tuxedo as well as industry standard interfaces to legacy transactions such as EHLLAPI and APPC.

ClassMate is built on an object-oriented base, but requires a minimum of OO knowledge.

ClassMate reusable application components are specified in a graphical specification environment and stored as metadata in a local repository. 4GL-like properties are specified such as data types and range checks.

Reusable VisualWorks Smalltalk components for interface, logic and data are then generated automatically from these specifications creating a transaction application framework in a local test environment which includes transaction control through the X/Open’s XA protocol for distributed multi-phase commit.

At this point the developer can use a subset of the Smalltalk language in order to further specify business logic.

Target platform information is then added to these specifications such as remote service parameters, distribution points, etc. From these enhanced specifications, new components are generated that work with the specific deployment environment

ClassMate Benefits


  • ClassMate bring the benefits of object technology to robust client/server transaction processing application development.

  • ClassMate allows for the rapid prototyping of distributed application in a local development environment.

  • ClassMate encourages reuse through the encapsulation of business logic into reusable components.

  • ClassMate allows for the development of portable applications (e.g. Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroup 3.11, NT, OS/2, Mac, HP-UX, AIX, Sun Solaris, etc.)

  • ClassMate provides high-level support for the integration of heterogeneous application topologies such as remote data (APPC, HLLAPI), multi-level transaction processing (Tuxedo), transactional client-server.
