St. Paul, MN – April 9, 2002 – ObjectFX, the leading provider of location-based services (LBS) software based on J2EE™ standards, today announced support for Hewlett-Packard Company’s Netaction Application Server (HP AS) and certified that the integration demonstrates wireless location services based entirely on HP AS.

"The benefit of developing within Java™ standards has been proven once again with the ease of integrating our products with HP’s Application Server. Location-based services such as viewing maps, optimizing routes, or performing complex spatial queries can be very demanding on machines and application servers. ObjectFX’s solution combines our Enterprise JavaBeans™ components with HP technology to offer customers maximum benefits in customization, performance, scalability, and reliability," ObjectFX chief architect Brett Peterson said.

ObjectFX’s SpatialFX™ Platform is a mature and inclusive Java-based software platform for developing and deploying location-based services on a wide variety of wired or wireless devices. It offers capabilities such as map visualization, optimized point-to-point routing, address geocoding, reverse geocoding, proximity searching, data integration and more. SpatialFX provides an open, J2EE-based, front-to-back platform composed of multiple weight clients, JSP-based middleware, and back-end EJB components.

"In the next few years, mobile professionals and consumers will increasingly make daily use of location-based services on the HP Jornada and other wireless devices across a wide variety of corporate, government, and consumer applications," said Bob Bickel, general manager, HP Middleware Division. "That’s why we’re very pleased that ObjectFX’s advanced LBS product has been integrated with our middleware technology and that ObjectFX has joined our Middleware ISV ’Extend & Enhance’ Program, in which we can foster the incorporation of ObjectFX’s technology within many of our other ISV offerings."
