by

Rational Application Developer has supported mobile web application development since 8.0.3 ifix1. Now with the 8.5 release, you can continue to build native-looking mobile web sites using improved tools in RAD, and more importantly, you can now build native mobile applications for the popular smartphone platforms (Android, iOS, Blackberry and Windows Phone) using IBM Worklight Studio 5.0, which is bundled with RAD 8.5. Lastly, WebSphere Developer Tools 8.5 makes many of the powerful development tools in RAD available on Mac. This enables the possibility to have a single development environment for multi-channel mobile development targeting Android and iOS, and multi-tier enterprise development using Java EE or OSGi.

Let’s take a closer look at each of these products’ mobile development capabilities to help you decide which one to use given your specific business needs, as well as what might be reasons to use them together in a single workbench via shell-sharing.

Rational Application Developer 8.5 (RAD) has mobile web development tools targeting a pure web deployment solution.

  • Develop applications, including mobile web applications, and deploy to WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Portal
  • Programming models include Java EE, OSGi, SCA and Web 2.0
  • Test and debugg applications on WebSphere or in IBM Smart Cloud
  • Develop virtual application patterns for IBM Workload Deployer

IBM Worklight Studio 5 (IWS) has tools for mobile hybrid development

  • Develop applications and deploying to smart phones and tablets
  • Programming model is HTML5 and JavaScript
  • Multi-channel architecture covering mobile devices, mobile web, desktop web and desktop widgets

WebSphere Application Server Developer Tools for Eclipse (WDT) is a subset of RAD, and has programming model support for JEE, OSGi, JAX-RS and Web. WDT is available at no cost and is unsupported. Customers can buy support if so desired. WDT has the same set of tools as RAD for mobile web development using Dojo Mobile.

Now you ask: why so many tools?

So let’s look into the value proposition of the new products. WDT’s main goal is to unlock the powerful enterprise application development capabilities from RAD and offer them to a wider range of customers who are interested in IBM’s WebSphere platform. It’s an interesting product in 3 aspects: it’s free, can be installed via eclipse update site in addition to Installation Manager, and supports running on Mac OSX. Now about IBM Worklight Studio. It’s based on IBM’s acquisition of Worklight earlier in the year, and is a multi-channel development environment with a focus on hybrid development for the smartphone platforms.

So we have 3 different products all supporting mobile development. Which one should I use? The answer depends on your specific business needs. If you only need to develop web based mobile applications, then use RAD or WDT. RAD and WDT supports all web technologies needed for producing high-quality mobile web sites. In particular, they both support Dojo Mobile to make the web application achieve native look-and-feel. The mobile web applications are accessed through the mobile browsers. They don’t require users to install an application and continue to revisit the AppStore for updates.

But web based mobile applications are limited to the capabilities available in the browser, which doesn’t support a deep user experience with some of the important features available on the mobile devices such as the camera or the contact list. If you need to take advantage of these device capabilities, you need to write native applications which install through the AppStore and run on the device platform. This is where IBM Worklight Studio comes in. IWS supports the IBM Worklight Platform to develop native mobile applications using web technologies. It supports popular JavaScript frameworks such as jQuery Mobile, Sencha Touch and Dojo Mobile to achieve high quality user interface and engaging user experience.

Watch these videos to get an idea of the breadth and depth of the tools in IWS and how it can help increase your productivity:

  • Develop Dojo Mobile applications with IWS 5:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snkUTBVxLBw

Finally, if you want to have a single IDE combines the backend development capabilities of RAD/WDT with mobile development capabilities of IWS, you can install them together in a “shell-sharing” configuration. This way all the different components of your overall enterprise mobile solution can be managed by a single IDE.
