Johnson Computer Software Team Limited (JCST) is an independent software developer and systems consultant. We are conversant in all aspects of systems' life cycle: design, development, implementation and operation. Our focus is on state-of-the-art technology:
  • Java for servers, workstations and handheld devices
  • Object databases on the server
  • SOAP (Web Services) and proprietary optimized client/server communication
  • RFID inputs
  • Virtualization for server optimization

Some examples of systems & tools JCST provides are:

Art Inventory System
Custom built to handle a substantial private art collection, the system manages the information pertaining to the works in the collection. Access to the system is through a Java client that allow users to maintain the information about each work, their images and even link to related sites.

Pilot Log Book
A small, standalone system that can be installed on a workstation (MAC users note it requires Java 1.6). It demonstrates some of the power of building a GUI in Java and is built using an Object database (db4objects).

Client/Server Middlewaree
While SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) based on xml is the industry standard for moving data between computers it can be complicated to use and is inefficient if there are large, complex objects are to be moved over a communications line.

Our middleware, originally developed at the time Java was first introduced to the world, moves entire objects between client and server over a TCP/IP connection. There is no complex marshalling and unmarshalling, just pass an object in at one end and retrieve it at the other. Over time the system has been enhanced to provide monitoring and management tools to be able to observe system activity and to stop and start remote servers.
