About Application Platform
webMethods Application Platform complements the webMethods product line by allowing you to create custom business applications. You can use Application Platform together with other Software AG products to create entire business solutions. Application Platform provides a user friendly way for building custom business logic.
Application Platform enables you to create custom business applications in a Java-friendly way. It is based on OSGi and provides development tools and run-time components for building Java applications using Software AG Designer. You can use standard Designer tools for debugging and you can directly deploy your project bundles to a webMethods runtime without using a third-party application server. Project bundles are deployed to webMethods Integration Server or My webMethods Server in exactly the same way, as in other webMethods products. You can integrate your Application Platform projects with Integration Server (IS) services or with My webMethods services and user interfaces, developed in the Composite Application Framework.
With Application Platform you can complete the following tasks:
1. Develop business logic applications in Designer by using standard POJOs and Spring Beans.
2. Integrate your applications with Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) services through bi-directional invocation.
3. Deploy and run the applications on your existing webMethods servers alongside your existing webMethods assets.
4. Expose your applications to users in various ways by using web applications.
