webMathematica 2.2 New Features
webMathematica 2.2 comes with Mathematica 5.1. Mathematica 5.1 contains many important new features relevant to web operations, the most important being optimized binary I/O, graph and array plotting, and comprehensive string manipulation, matching, and searching capabilities.
DatabaseLink provides Mathematica with an industrial-strength, ready-made solution for integrating Mathematica with any standard SQL database. Integrated with Mathematica 5.1 it provides a convenient bridge between SQL databases and webMathematica. One particularly useful feature for webMathematica is that DatabaseLink contains the HSQL Database Engine (HSQLDB), a lightweight database. This means that if you do not already have a database or want to experiment with using one you do not have to set one up, instead you can use HSQLDB.
The Mathematica Web Services Package allows Mathematica to call web services across the internet. Bundled with Mathematica 5.1, it provides a convenient way for webMathematica to use a web service. This is an important way to extend the functionality of a webMathematica web site.
webMathematica Author is an authoring system that aids in the creation and development of webMathematica material. A preview version is shipped with webMathematica 2.2.
