• Server-side code is complied into Java®-based web services.
• Common code (shared between the client and server) is compiled into both JavaScript and Java-based web services.
• End-to-end debug of client and server-side code is supported. You can quickly run and debug both client-side and server-side logic without deploying any code to a server.

Increases productivity
