Ariba, Inc. (NASDAQ:ARBA), the leading spend management
solutions provider, today announced the open source release of
AribaWeb, the company�s groundbreaking framework for development of
Rich Internet Applications (RIAs).
�AribaWeb has long been part of the �secret sauce� behind
Ariba�s rich spend management application user interfaces (UIs),�
said Bhaskar Himatsingka, Chief Technology Officer, Ariba. �As one
of the first companies to push Java applications to enterprise
scale, Ariba has been a long-time adopter and beneficiary of open
source technology. With the open source release of AribaWeb, we see
the opportunity to give back to the community in a significant
way.�
AribaWeb enables the creation of rich, highly interactive
business applications with far less coding effort than alternative
web application development frameworks. Among the key attributes
that set AribaWeb apart:
Auto AJAX
�Today�s users demand a highly interactive, rich user experience
from their web applications. And to date, this challenge has been
met primarily through AJAX,� said Craig Federighi, User Interface
Technology Evangelist at Ariba. �But implementing AJAX typically
involves the extensive (and expensive) hand-coding of brittle
client-side JavaScript code. With its Auto AJAX technology,
AribaWeb completely changes the game and dramatically alters the
cost equation - AJAX user interfaces are produced automatically,
without requiring the application developer to perform any
client-side scripting.�
Instant App
Business applications typically consist of hundreds of user
interface screens built to support the creation, editing, search
and inspection of the business objects that encode the business
functionality. In most frameworks, the user interface developer
must create and maintain user interface code for each of these
screens. AribaWeb�s Instant App technology eliminates the need for
this code. In fact, given only a set of UI-agnostic Java or Groovy
domain classes, AribaWeb can apply rules to the available meta-data
and instantly derive a fully functional application, all without a
single line of application UI code.
Live Edit & X-Ray
AribaWeb�s focus on developer productivity is further evidenced
through its Live Edit and X-Ray capabilities. Developers use X-Ray
to see through running application UIs, getting visibility to the
active hierarchy of components behind the scenes. Further, with
Live Edit, developers can use drag and drop to alter the UI layout
and property sheets to tweak rules right in the browser. All
changes take immediate effect in the live application.
Proven Full Stack
The AribaWeb distribution provides a full stack for the
development of database-based business applications, including a
deep library of UI widgets (forms, pivot tables, charts, rich text
editors, etc.), as well as bindings to a bundled Object-Relational
Mapping (ORM) database framework. It also supports deployment in a
variety of J2EE environments. And AribaWeb is industry-proven
technology. Now in its fifth major release, AribaWeb has been
included by Ariba as a critical component of its market-leading
spend management and network solutions for nearly a decade.
AribaWeb is used daily by millions of users at more than a thousand
of the world�s largest companies, and has been part of over one
trillion dollars of business-to-business electronic commerce.

Version 5 of AribaWeb is available for immediate download, under
the terms of the Apache Open Source License v2, from the project
