Why Java? We wanted to make the most versatile, extendable application, and we selected java as the appropiate solution, since it is not platform-specific, has leading edge standards and supports the additional technologies we wanted to implement on this project.
Data in XML. XML (extended markup language) has become the standard in data exchange technologies, and thus, having the data information in XML makes the application easier to maintain, the data easier to exchange and the update possibilities endless, since the data is in a uniform web aware standard.
Graphics in SVG. Scalable Vector Graphics is soon to become the standard in graphics formats, because it is an open standard, strongly backed by its XML foundation, and it is an elegant solution to display graphics in an application, because it is resolution independant, allows for morphing (between template and faceplate view), and it is easier to maintain than Bitmap images. Also, it allows One Mile Up to continue its lifelong commitment to vector graphics.
