OpenLaszlo is an open source platform for the development and delivery of web applications with a usable human interface (sometimes called rich Internet applications) on the World Wide Web. It is released under the Open Source Initiative-certified Common Public License. The OpenLaszlo platform consists of the LZX programming language and the OpenLaszlo Server.
Deployment Laszlo applications can be deployed as traditional Java servlets, which are compiled and returned to the browser dynamically. This method requires that the web server be running the OpenLaszlo server. Alternatively, Laszlo applications can be compiled from LZX into a binary SWF file, and loaded statically into an existing web page. This method is known as SOLO deployment. Applications deployed in the manner lack some functionality of servlet-contained files, such as the ability to consume SOAP web services and XML remote procedure calls. Licensing OpenLaszlo was originally developed and released under the Common Public License by Laszlo Systems. Adopters
Project History OpenLaszlo was originally called the Laszlo Presentation Server (LPS). Development of the LPS began in the fall of 2001. Preview versions were released to select partners over the course of 2002; several of these were used to deploy the Behr paint application. The first general release of LPS was in early 2002. In October 2004, Laszlo Systems released the entire sources to the Laszlo Presentation Server under the GPL open source license, and initiated the OpenLaszlo project. In 2005, coincident with the release of version 3.0, the name of the Laszlo Presentation Server was changed to OpenLaszlo. Timeline: See also | ||||||||||
