Create indispensible asset-management maps. ILOG JViews Maps provides the tools for adding essential interfaces to Web-based displays. Quickly deploy accurate, functional maps that power critical Java monitoring applications. Deploy maps in applications, applets or Ajax-enhanced thin Web clients.

Potent toolset for asset-management maps
ILOG JViews Maps is a set of editors, a full software development kit (SDK), and a DVD full of starter map data. Developers use the point-and-click editors to define the map background and the graphical symbols to be placed on top of it. The symbols are then connected to the application's underlying business objects—when the business object updates, the graphic symbol will change its visual aspect or position. While much of the display can be defined using the editors, the SDK allows developers to control every detail of the look and feel.

• Easy creation of data-aware symbols with Symbol Editor
• MapBuilder, an editor for defining map data used in applications
• Complete customization of all map features and all objects atop a map
• Multiple deployment options, including desktop Java clients and Ajax-enhanced DHTML clients
• Map readers for standard and commercial data formats including Oracle Spatial, ShapeFile, MID/MIF, DTED, GeoTIFF, GIF and JPEG

Example: asset-management maps
Asset-management maps let end user view the elements -- or assets -- of their system in proper geographic locations. With ILOG JViews Maps, developers can overlay maps with highly customized, data-aware graphics, like those created with the Symbol Editor. When the underlying data changes, graphic elements can be designed to automatically change appearance on the screen.
