We are trying to build a stand-alone Rapid Application
Development (RAD) application that enables software developers to
graphically build and deploy Services for a particular
domain.
It will allow application developers to create, modify,
debug and deply applications.
It will be a complete IDE with editor having full support
for drag-drop our specific set of components, users being able to create new
components, wysiwyg features, source editor, templates which can be
customized, wizards, database integration etc. All these underneath would
generate ASP code, in addition to whatever files are made. Example, it'll
allow the user to drag and drop DB connections and create Apps that talk to
DB. Now, the application configuration files i.e. the engine, UI settings
(toolbars, menu bars etc.), component interfaces, database layer which
connects seamlessly to all data sources etc. will all be xml
interfaces.
I am trying to find out if xml resources close to this
(for application configurations and database connectivity) exist in the
public domain. Maybe even with
limited set of functionalities for
now.
Thanks,
Rashida
