Application Themes
Open-jACOB includes a number of pre-defined design themes, each with a unique look-and-feel. Design themes allow you to change the visual elements of your application quickly and easily, and then automatically apply a uniform look-and-feel across your entire application without hand-coding each page.
Since design themes are created in CSS, you can modify the Open-jACOB provided design themes or create your own.
CRUD Application Forms
The acronym CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) refers to all of the major functions that need to be implemented in a database application to consider it complete. Open-jACOB automatically provides these functionality to your application without any line of code or SQL.
Query by Example (QBE)
Query by Example (QBE) is a powerful search method that allows anyone to search a system for document(s) by entering an element such as a text string, document name, dates, date ranges,... quickly searching through the DB to match your entered criteria.
Internationalization
Software localization is a process of translating software user interfaces from one language to another and adapting it to suit a foreign culture. In Open-jACOB you can display different language translations at run-time based on individual user preferences. Your single generated application can load multiple resource files, allowing it to display different languages for different users.
WebDav
Open-jACOB provides WebDAV support that allows people to "author and edit content via browser or any WebDAV-compliant tool like MS Word or PowerPoint, and enjoy full web publishing features like version control and ubiquitous delivery". .
