4.3.3 WAM

Web Application Modules, also called WAMs, are a component-based Web technology used for building LANSA applications for the Internet. WAM components are enabled for Full RDMLX and are defined with component properties, events and methods (PEM). The WAM Editor also includes WYSIWYG editing features for customizing any XSL presentation associated with the WAM.

WAMs use a standard XML/XSL Architecture which is open and rapidly adaptable to technology changes. By using an XML/XSL Architecture, WAMs are able to create an independence between the data specification and presentation specification. This independence is very important as new computing device and presentation formats are defined. For example, if you build a solution for only HTML, what happens when you require a cellular solution requiring WML or some other technology. The WAM architecture is able to deliver technology services for a variety of client computing devices including browsers.
