About a year ago, we released Prolifics Enterprise Gateway (PEG) - our simple HTML (REST-like) gateway to access your Panther back-end systems. We’ve seen a lot of interest in PEG, and this month we followed that with the release of Panther 5.50 which includes the new Panther Java Component Application Server, a Java Web Service stub generator for Panther so you can make web service calls to Panther code. In addition, we are now able to invoke HTML/Web Services from Panther. This means your code can now be extended as a service consumer or producer, or act as a lightweight broker (doing both) within a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA).

This month we have also released both an Android and Apple iOS mobile application for defect reporting and tracking of OPRs. The really cool part is that we are providing the capabilities just mentioned, by simply exposing our Panther libraries as callable services to the mobile application code.

In addition to working on our Panther products, the team has developed prototypes that show, build, run and deploy Panther web and mobile applications in a Docker Container architecture. This allows flexibility and portability of applications between the different environments. Our Panther Services Team is available to help you do the same.
