COMPONENT INTEGRATION
Advanced Designer can configure and deploy MoreMotion components in a project.
DEFINING DATA SOURCES
In Advanced Suite projects, mmDB queries, Relational database queries, Components and External XML resources can be used as data sources.
The data to be requested and their usage criteria in the project can be specified from the easy-to-use Data Sources dialog.
ALTERNATE PAGE SUPPORT
mmDesigner provides a very unique support for creating alternate version of pages. An alternate page can be alternative language version of a page or alternative representation of the same content.
Alternate pages are based on the master page. The changes made to the master page are reflected to its alternate pages.
See MMAS Internationalisation Support.
PROCESS MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK
MoreMotion Advanced Suite has introduced a new concept starting with release v2 which is called as "Process Management".
MoreMotion Process Management targets to simplify tasks to build sophisticated applications where one or more actions need to be executed one after another that is triggered by one user click.
See more on Process Management Framework.
MULTIPLE SITES AND MULTIPLE DEPLOYMENT CONFIGURATIONS
Multiple web sites can be administered in a MMAS Project and they are built and deployed according to the selected deployment configuration. It is also possible to define multiple deployment configurations in a project.
This way you can generate two different web applications from the same project by using different configuration settings.
CONDITIONAL BUILD
Instead of creating different versions of pages for different environments, generic pages can be designed and built conditionally.
By testing the build parameters defined in the deployment configuration, pages can be conditionally included into / excluded from build process. Similarly the content of the pages can be built conditionally by testing the build parameters.
INTEGRATED WEB SERVER
Apache Tomcat servlet runner is included in the MMAS package and pre-configured for testing the projects built by mmDesigner.
A MMAS developer does not have to install of configure web servers or application servers for testing the web application developed. Tomcat is easily managed with the commands supplied in the GUI of mmDesigner.
PACKAGE PUBLISH
Using the Package Publish feature of Advanced Desiger you can easily create a package that contains Java VM, Apache Tomcat and the Web Application.
You can then copy this package to a Windows or Unix (Linux) computer and start the application by simply executing the provided startup.bat or startup.sh without setting or configuring anything.
