The WaveMaker Ajax Framework is an open source Java software development framework that allows web developers to create Ajax applications. It is licensed under the Affero General Public License version 3.0.[1]
WaveMaker applications are created using the WaveMaker studio, a browser-based IDE. The WaveMaker studio is based on the TurboAjax Studio, developed by Scott Miles, module owner for Dojo Grid, and Steve Orvell, core committer for Dojo.[2]
WaveMaker applications run in a standard Java server based on Apache Tomcat, the Dojo Toolkit, Spring and Hibernate. Currently, it is supported on Microsoft Windows, Linux and Macintosh.[3][4]
As an example of level of complexity of applications which can be build using an WYSIWYG development approach for Ajax applications, the WaveMaker Studio was built using WaveMaker. [5] WaveMaker is meant for use by web developers who prefer visual tools.[6]
