CA Gen Studio

CA Gen Studio, introduced in CA Gen 8.0, is a plug-in framework for several CA Gen development tools that provide the common functionality required by various tools. You can integrate CA Gen Studio with supported CA Gen tools and third-party Eclipse-based plug-ins.

Eclipse is a software platform comprising extensible application frameworks, tools, and a runtime library for software development and management. It is written primarily in Java to provide software developers and administrators an integrated development environment (IDE). You can extend CA Gen Studio functionality by creating your own plug-in modules and installing plug-ins written for the Eclipse software framework, such as development toolkits for other programming languages.

The initial release of CA Gen Studio in CA Gen 8.0 included the following three designers:

Web Service Access Designer

Defines and maps Actions to business operations. These actions execute following an event triggered in the browser. You can use Adobe Dreamweaver to design your web pages.

PStep Interface Designer
