Powerfull Wizards:
XMLRAD lets you build complete web and intranet applications and it provides powerfull wizards to easily create all kind of fully functionnal forms. It can also build portals with Outlook Menu or Treview Menu. XMLRAD wizards will make you win a lot of time for all standard operations. |
Database
XMLRAD can easily create forms which extracts data from a database and display it in many different layouts, such as:
- Data Table is a simple table containing the returned rows.
- Data Grid is a grid to edit multiple records at once and post all the update in a single HTTP request.
- Simple Form is a simple form which lets you edit/save/delete a record.
- Master-Detail Form combines a simple form which lets you edit the fields of a master record, and displays a data table of detail records linked to this master record.
- Master-Detail Data Table displays one data table (Master), with a nested data table (Detail) in each row.
- Search Form is a form which lets you search records and display results.
- and many more...
WebServices
XMLRAD eXtreme IDE provides state-of-the-art wizards to create very easily fully functionnal forms which integrates WebServices such as syndications, news, MP3 searches, stock quotes, weather headlines, notifications, alerters, bids, auctions... XMLRAD supports all kind of binding style (RPC or DOCUMENT).
This following image shows you an example of using the Xara3D WebService which generates a 3D image according to different params. Again, no line of code is necessary !
Reporting and multi-export formats
XMLRAD provides a set of wizards dedicated to reporting. For that, XMLRAD outputs HTML or PDF documents. It can generate many different kind of reports :
- Data Table
- Simple Form
- Master-Detail Form
- Master-Detail Data Table
- Labels
- and many more...
eXtensible Markup Language (XML), eXtensible Stylesheet Language (XSL), and XSL Transformations (XSLT) allow you to use a single source of data to generate output in any format and for any platform, like HTML, SVG, WML, PDF, etc.
-
Export to XML : You can skip the XSLT transformation process and directly get the XML data. Just simply add the XMLC_OutputFormat=XML param in the invokation URL.
-
Export to PDF : All pages of your XMLRAD application can be exported to Adobe PDF format using the small HTMLDOC utility. To export pages to PDF, add the XMLC_OutputFormat=PDF param in the invokation URL.
Back-End Actions
XMLRAD can also guide you through the construction of back-end actions, such as:
- Insert Statement to insert a new record into a table.
- Update Statement to update an existing record of a table
- Delete Statement to delete specified record(s)
- Database Indexation to generates indexed files used for full-text search with Index Server
Index Server relative wizards
XMLRAD applications can interface with Microsoft Index Server, in order to be able to perform files full-text search. Thanks to Microsoft Index Server, you'll be able to search within all kind of stored documents, such as HTML, Text, MS Word or MS Excel files.
This possibility of full-text search within documents has been extended to database. Indeed, XMLRAD provides wizards that guide you through the indexation process of your database data, so that you can perform full-text search !
This indexation process consists of the generation of files which corresponds to your database records. Once your files are scanned and indexed by Microsoft Index Server, records corresponding to your full-text search will show up.
The indexation process also considers a context notion by the use of scopes. When you carry out a full-text search, you certainly want to specify what kind of data you want to be shown up (like a Department, an Employee or a Book). XMLRAD automatically manages these scopes to immediately provide fully funtionnal forms.
XMLRAD provides these wizards :
- Files full-text search : Creates a search form which lets you perform a full-text search on all kind of documents such as HTML, TEXT, MS Word, MS Excel, etc.
- Database full-text search : Creates a search form which lets you perform a full-text search on your database data. Just specify the scope to use, and XMLRAD takes the rest in charge !
- Indexed form : It is the indexed file which correspond to a database record. This file contains the record fields and is indexed by MS Index Server.
- Index administration form : This wizard builds up an administration form which lets you lauch the indexation process of an entire table. It shows you the indexation progression with a progress bar !
