Enhydra XMLC™ Java™ Presentation Development

Summary

This chapter has given you the first taste of Enhydra XMLC development. I've explained how XMLC turns a markup page of HTML into an object representation in the form of a DOM template. XMLC simultaneously uses designer- or developer-inserted id attributes to identify those portions of the DOM that will most likely be manipulated for dynamic content. The result is a set of convenient accessor methods that bypass the need for low-level DOM API development. We asserted that the use of the DOM tree as a “middleman” for representing the markup document removes the inter-mixing of markup and Java logic. The result is a clean, consistent division of markup and programming logic. The implications are many, as we've identified from the different ...
