October 15, 2004 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- CodeFutures (codefutures.com), a supplier of Java software development products, announced earlier this week that Web hosting provider DSNet (dsnet.net) completed an overhaul of a high-volume e-commerce Web site using its Java code generator FireStorm/DAO Architect Edition. According to CodeFutures, DSNet generated the Java code for a new data persistence tier directly from the database, without any manual Java programming.
"DSNet was one of the first companies to take advantage of the advanced features in FireStorm/DAO Architect Edition. They have implemented a truly world-class solution," says Andy Grove, CTO of CodeFutures.
DSNet saved over 300 hours on the e-commerce project, CodeFutures said. The site handled $10 million in annual turnover and up to 400 concurrent users.
"Firestorm/DAO saved us at least 300 hours of development in unifying the legacy data persistence code, developing test harnesses, implementing a caching subsystem, and eliminating bugs caused by out-of-sync data access code," says Cris Daniluk, vice president of technology for DSNet. "A 400 percent return on investment was made on the project. FireStorm/DAO Architect Edition paid for itself four times over in time savings alone in the first three months of use. The longer term cost savings will be substantially more as new functionality is added to the e-commerce site."
