Tools
staila technologies provides multiple tools to further simplify the development of applications on top of the Mercury platform. The easy-to-use productivity tools are useful for constructing applications, modeling and acquisition of data.
Libraries with various language bindings allow to access Mercury using its high-speed wire protocol. These libraries allow the implementation of feature-rich client applications and provide full access to the system including its metadata, method invocation, messaging and data manipulation. Currently libraries for C, Java and Adobe Flash are available.
Mercury Workbench is a plugin-based dynamic studio to develop Mercury applications. This solution, which is built using the Eclipse platform, fulfills various requirements in a single application. Many plugins such as administration, data-import, data-editing and an integrated development environment that enables users to implement custom applications exist. Based on individual needs, plugins can be added or removed in order to always have the required toolset at hand.
A Code Generator creates client side code based on the models implemented on Mercury. The generator produces code in the language of the client such as Java. The generated code allows to call remote functionality on Mercury, to create new data objects or to navigate through server-stored objects. When using the Code Generator only very little needs to be known about the Mercury API.
