TENON EXTENDS THE POWER OF WEBTEN WITH MORPH TECHNOLOGIES’ WEB
APPLICATION ENGINE DYNAMORPH
Santa Barbara, CA, June 8, 1998. Tenon Intersystems and Morph
Technologies have formed a strategic partnership to extend WebTen, the
fastest and most fully-featured Macintosh web server, with advanced web
server development capabilities. Morph Technologies, working with
Tenon, is building a WebTen Apache-native version of their
sophisticated DynaMorph web development tool suite. The enhanced
version of DynaMorph will become part of WebTen, running under MacOS and
later on Rhapsody and MacOS X.
About WebTen
WebTen is an industrial-strength, high-performance Web server for Power
Macs – a point & click Apache-based web server, with performance and
features that, for the first time, put the Macintosh squarely on the
Internet playing field. WebTen, based on the latest Apache 1.2.6 and
sustaining over 900 hits/second, includes multihoming SSL 3.0,
multihoming FTP, NFS, and DNS. With Tenon’s Macintosh extensions to
Apache, WebTen supports the widest selection of plug-ins and CGIs of
any web server.
WebTen includes built-in multihoming with its own finely tuned TCP
stack. WebTen supports both IP-based virtual hosting and header-based
virtual hosting. Using IP-based virtual hosting in combination with
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) 3.0 for Web-based commerce, provides the
ability to support hundreds of secure Web addresses on a single
Macintosh.
WebTen supports File Transfer Protocol (FTP) for uploading Web content.
In combination with virtual hosting, FTP supports the secure uploading
of Web content to specific virtual host directories. A built-in NFS
capability supports the offloading of Web content throughout the
enterprise via industry-standard file sharing. In addition,
state-of-the-art Domain Name Service (DNS) lets a WebTen Web server act
as a primary or secondary domain name server.
About DynaMorph
DynaMorph enables website developers to employ the power of CGI
programming directly inside of HTML documents without the need for
advanced Perl or C++ programming skills. DynaMorph has database
connectivity for all ODBC-compatible Mac databases. This partnership
will bring the power of DynaMorph to the WebTen native environment.
DynaMorph’s cross-platform web application engine enables web
developers to create their work on a Macintosh, yet deliver the results
to clients running web sites, intranets, and web-based applications on
NT or UNIX platforms. A website or application built with DynaMorph
can literally be moved from one computer to another, independent of the
operating system, with no additional effort required.
DynaMorph’s dynamic web graphics support enables designers of advanced
web sites to build sites which automatically create images based on
values present in a file, a database, or a form submission. This
capability, combined with Morph’s advanced caching techniques and
powerful database interaction tools, enable cutting-edge web developers
to build fully self-maintaining database driven web sites.
DynaMorph makes it easy to create and maintain web sites without an
intimate knowledge of CGI programming. Sophisticated web-based
applications, such as discussion forums, chat servers, on-line
scholastic testing systems, interactive training, adaptive information
publishing, product registration, and electronic commerce, can be
developed using DynaMorph’s powerful server-side scripting language.
