Welcome to OpenWDDX.org, the home of the WDDX SDK and related projects. OpenWDDX.org seeks to empower Web developers with technology that enables them to create new forms of value on the Internet using distributed data and Web syndicate networks. The Web Distributed Data Exchange, or WDDX, is a free, open XML-based technology that allows Web applications created with any platform to easily exchange data with one another over the Web. To learn more about WDDX, check out the WDDX FAQ section of the site.
Apache CXF is an open source services framework. CXF helps you build and develop services using frontend programming APIs, like JAX-WS. These services can speak a variety of protocols such as SOAP, XML/HTTP, RESTful HTTP, or CORBA and work over a variety of transports such as HTTP, JMS or JBI.
There are a number of open-source unit testing tools available. So why another one?
Well, this one addresses a specific need - an easy way to test XML-based servers. If you have a server that communicates with clients via XML messages, you can end up putting a lot of effort into using one of the unit-testing frameworks to test all the messages. Just think of all the code needed to set up communications, construct messages, and verify responses.
A simple alternative is to document XML messages and expected responses, without having to write any code. Let XmlMessageTest send each XML message to the server, verify returned messages against expected results, and produce a simple report of test results.
XmlMessageTest is written in Java and should be able to run any Java-enabled platform. It's been tested on Windows XP and Linux. It can be easily integrated into your build process.
The Beryl XML GUI library was written to ease the development of graphical user interfaces using Swing on Java. It lets you store user interfaces as XML markup. This will help you avoid unnecessary clutter in your source - Swing code mixed with application logic can become a troublesome and hard to read mess as the application size increases. The library comes with a visual component builder, which makes development a breeze. The most important features are:
DynamicDOM is an extension of the W3C DOM (Document Object Model) that adds dynamism to XML. For example, it allows you to define rules so that when you change, say, the TotalIncome node, the IncomeTax node updates automatically.
Just as C++ adds code to the C struct to create a class, DynamicDOM adds intelligence, in the form of rules and code, to the DOM to expand its capabilities beyond parsing XML documents to processing and enforcing business rules. Your XML document, then, becomes dynamic in the sense that it contains rules and code in addition to data, and updates itself automatically based predefined rules.
