Application Platform enables you to develop application logic in Java without having to use proprietary webMethods APIs. You can use popular Java development models such as POJOs or Spring Beans for your application logic, and then deploy the logic to run in My webMethods Server. You develop the application logic using the Application Platform perspective in Software AG Designer. You can also develop web UI applications based on Java servlet technology.

You can use simple Java annotations to add business logic to composite applications and OpenCAF applications by discovering and calling the services from the application user interfaces. With Application Platform, there is no need to resort to third-party application servers or complex Java deployments.
