XFE 1.0
Almost every enterprise-scale Internet or intranet system
requires forms-based data entry. Some systems require only a
small amount of administrative input; other systems, such as
hospital administration systems, e-commerce systems, etc.,
require thousands of forms for data entry covering billing,
orders, contact requests, complaints, etc. The management of
the forms-based data entry system in itself is a large
undertaking, independent of other parts of a modern system.
XFE, a forms engine developed by E-XMLMedia,
radically simplifies development of forms based data entry
systems. A one-page interaction document, written by a
web designer in XML, defines the form, describes the desired
interaction with the user, and specifies the information
desired from the user. The form definition is given to XFE.
XFE manages multiple rounds of interaction with the user
through the user's favorite browser. The result of data entry
is delivered to the web application as a validated XML
document.
XFE 1.0 Beta is based on the latest version of the draft
XFORMS standard:
XForms 1.0 W3C
