X4Dialog - What's that ?
X4Dialog is a Java-based framework for dynamic generation of web pages with the help of XML/XSLT.
Feature list:
- Aggregation enables several independent XML data sources to be displayed together.
- Using the underlying XML structure it generates unique IDs for input components.
- There are XSLT templates for both GUI components in standard HTML (input fields etc.) and upgraded versions such as tabs (tabbed panes).
- It produces pure HTML. Since processing takes place only on the server, it is independent of the browser.
- Display aspects (e.g. the label of an input field) for specific XML elements are defined in annotations (separation of content and representation).
- It lends itself to rapid prototyping. Test data can be stored as XML files; at the outset a back-end is unnecessary.
- The framework can be easily expanded
- Java-based
