In the same schema, a JADE developer can create many completely separate applications which may provide different interfaces to access the same database. | In the same schema, a JADE developer can create many completely separate applications which may provide different interfaces to access the same database. | ||

JADE Forms have an interesting twist to them though. It is actually possible to run a JADE Forms application through a web browser by changing its mode to <b>web-enabled</b>. When this happens, JADE automatically generates HTML code to make pages that resemble form and its [[Widget (computing)|controls]], without any modifications to the code. This is a very quick way for programmers that are not competent with HTML and other web technologies to deliver a program through the web. | JADE Forms have an interesting twist to them though.

[[Web services]] are used to allow different programs to communicate with each other from remote locations in an object-oriented form. Web services cannot be accessed directly by human users. One of the uses of web services with JADE is to allow other technologies such as .NET or Java to use JADE as the backend object-oriented database. | [[Web services]] are used to allow different programs to communicate with each other from remote locations in an object-oriented form.

JADE is also capable of interfacing with other programs through DLL calls. This allows other programs to access objects and execute methods, and could be used to provide a different interface to a JADE application. | JADE is also capable of interfacing with other programs through DLL calls.
