Visual Editors - Enhanced User Interface

Visual Editors - Enhanced User Interface

XMLRAD combines many different tools which let you manage all XML configuration files. These editors guide you through the configuration of all the parameters of your application.

XMLGram and XSL files are edited directly within the web browser using XMLRAD. Indeed, XMLRAD integrates XSLStudio to visually design XSL files. XSLStudio works with over 50 XSL Components templates. XMLRAD also integrates an XMLGram Editor to visually describe data extraction and manipulation without having to write a single line of code !

Data-driven programmation

Data-driven programmation

XMLRAD uses XMLGram to extract and manipulate data. An XMLGram contains XMLInstructions, which let developers perform the most common tasks, such as a database extraction or a SOAP invocation, without writing a single line of code ! The result of an XMLGram execution is an XML document called OutputDoc. An XSL stylesheet will then be applied on this OutputDoc in order to display the web page.

Here is a short list of the XMLInstructions you can use.

  • DBExtract: opens a SQL statement and creates an XML element containing each field of the query, for each record (very similar to the master file behavior)
  • DBBatch: executes a SQL statement. Parameters are coming from the context. (Very similar to XMLSQL)
  • FileExtract: extracts from an XML file a set of XML elements and copy them to the XML OutputDoc
  • SMTP: send email to SMTP server or directly to the remote host. Asynchronous and multi-thread support
  • Messenger: send instant messages using MSN Messenger. This features is integrated to transfer application pages between users
  • Chart: displays very simply sophisticated charts and graphs over the web. Fully JPEG compliant (no activex, no applet required)
  • SoapInvoke: invoke WebServices from your XMLGram
  • ...


Of course, XMLRAD also lets developers program business rules and business modules with a wide variety of languages: C#, VB.Net, JScript, VBScript, Delphi, C++ Builder, or any ActiveScripting languages: TCL, Perl, Python, REXX,...)

Integrated Security Module

Integrated Security Module

All XMLRAD applications have a built-in Security Module, which provides:

  • Login Screen
  • User authentification
  • Group/User authorization per XMLModule
  • Group/User authorization per XMLService

There is also an Anti-Hacking dispatch mecanism, which prevents your application to be flooded by concurrent requests from a same IP address.
