Xengine 2.0 provides a Open Tags Parsing and Tags Execution Model.
* You can define your own tags libraries, providing either compiling and runtime directives.
* Allows the ad-hoc creation of XStyle executable objects.
* Lets you manage at compile time the free text between tags.
* Provides an utility to parse inner styles.

ASK 1.0.6 facilitates the development of WEBAPPs using static services by offering an API that allows to call ASK stateless applications by passing the service name and parameters.

The API offers two possibilities: invoke the service making it be executed in the same Server (local) or not. For example:

public void paint(java.io.OutputStream out){
Hashtable p = new Hashtable();
// set the parameter for the service
p.put("file","c:/data.xml");
try{
// the service is requested to be executed locally
ser = org.openode.ask.server.ApplicationServer.appServer().runServiceLocal("xmlservice",p);
out.write(ser);
}catch(Throwable er){
er.printStackTrace()
}

ASK lets developers do complex X-net Applications by the use of a new server side Graphical component Model: ASK OpenBeans.

Some of the benefits are:

* Development
- No JSPs
- No XML/XSLT
- No Cookies
- No URL Rewriting
- No HTTP Session Management
- No JavaScript
- Full Server Side Java code
- Stateful & stateless Applications.

* Clustering & Fault-Tolerance... read more

Openode SHORB is a simple HTTP Object Request Broker. Now with version 1.0.1 HTTPS is supported for communication.

November's 2002 Java Developers Journal issue publishes an article about ASK written by Enrique Prez. There you can read the motivations, benefits, and filosophy behind the technology.

SHORB is a simple HTTP Object Request Broker that allows Remote Objects management over HTTP. It offers a rmic tool to generate stubs directly from Interfaces instead of classes. Also contains a naming service and a directory/path objects naming protocol that hides clients from final remote Objects Locations.

ASK offers a simple way to develop webapps, it promotes a Server Side Component Model called ASK OpenBeans that allows the programmer to concentrate in Java Business Logic rather than HTTP issues.

ASK introduces the OpenBeans API. The intention is to define a SIMPLE Server Side components Graphical API that would allow the development of ASK OpenBeans in RAD Environments. Help to reach the goal is requested!!!

Openode tools can be downloaded independently of each other.

Openode ASK is a front-end Application Server offering a Java Server Component Model to develop WEBAPPs as well as a server side Clustering Architecture.

The Job consists in developing the Server Side ASK Components package to support WML Applications.
