FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DigiSlice Releases Free Tool For Rapid Java Application Assembly

PORTLAND, Ore., July 1, 2003 — DigiSlice Corporation announces AppComposer
3, a visual development environment for assembling Java applications.
AppComposer can quickly integrate components into full applications,
including Web applications. AppComposer includes a complete suite of
component development and integration features, including a visual
component editor, integrated web server, servlet engine, debugger,
scripting facility, and relational database.

AppComposer developers can create and customize applications faster,
cheaper, and better. Live editing enables real-time testing and feedback,
eliminating the separate edit-compile-deploy-run steps of traditional IDEs.
AppComposer runs all popular platforms, including Windows, Macintosh,
Linux, and Solaris, and applications created with AppComposer can be
deployed to any standard Java environment, including IBM’s WebSphere, BEA’s
WebLogic, JBoss, and Tomcat.

Applications constructed of reusable components promote simplicity,
security, and scalability. AppComposer solves application assembly and
integration problems and delivers on the promise of reusable components and
services. Now all developers and businesses can take advantage of
component-based development. “This advanced technology was previously
available only to large enterprises,” said Dr. Wm. Leler, DigiSlice’s CTO.
“To demonstrate our dedication to component-based software, we are making
AppComposer available to a much larger audience, at no cost.”

Right out of the box AppComposer accelerates the development of all Java
applications.

Developers can assemble and deploy complex Web applications an order of
magnitude faster than with other technologies, without learning the
intricacies of Java programming. AppComposer allows users with minimal Java
and enterprise application experience to create and customize complex
applications.

In addition DigiSlice offers an Enterprise Plug-in Suite to enhance
AppComposer with support for Web Services and EJBs, including EJB
development.
