Wi.Ser is a Java/XML server-side GUI-framework which enables an
application to run as either a monolithic Swing application, a
thin-client/server Swing application, or as a Web application without
any change!

The framework supports a mixed deployment mode, which enables one
server to serve Swing clients and Web clients at the same time. A XML
markup language helps to define an application's GUI. Furthermore a
common widget-based, object-oriented programming interface for Web and
Swing GUIs is offered to the developer (for those who do not like XML
configurations of GUIs). This prevents from struggling with HTML,
JavaScript and HTTP requests or from caring about the internals of
Swing (e.g. Drag&Drop implementation). For Swing client/server
applications the framework cares for the client/server split as well
as for the client/server communication including compression and
security layers. The functionality of the Swing widget set is covered
widely in both (Swing and Web/HTML) client channels. The project comes
with a GUI-builder which is completely build on the Wi.Ser-framework
technology. So the builder runs as Web application in a browser or as
Swing (Swing C/S) application.

This release includes support for internationalization and an example.
The creation of WebWidgets is now up to three times faster and the
framework uses template caching. The startup of Swing applications is
now 15% faster and the memory consumption was reduced by 20%. The
release includes a preconfigured environment for Windows and UNIX
based Systems.
