FMW Web is developed using the Java system, on both the Client and Server tiers.
Java (a technology from Sun Microsystems) is an industry-standard, mature and highly functional
system development platform, suitable for both client and server development in a web-based environment.
It has the added advantage of being a cross-platform technology, and so software developed with Java
can operate on all major operating system platforms, such as Microsoft Windows, Apple OS/X, Linux
and Unix. While the vast majority of environments in which FMW Web operates run Windows
on the Client and Server tiers (the Data tier is more likely to
run a DBMS on an operating system other than Windows), Linux and Apple OS/X
are becoming important platforms in some environments.
A detailed description of the technology stack upon which FMW Web is built can be
found in the Technology section of the FMW Web Whitepaper
