dynamicXport

dynamicXport is a web-portal, cgi library and RAD (Rapid Application Development) toolkit, consisting of customizable web templates and a software API (Application Program Interface), which enables the creation of a web based presentation layer to any existing software application and database.  You may use dynamicXport as a stand-alone web application, or within a web site, to exchange information between authorized users.

dynamicXport facilitates web access to real-time application data, such as inventory status, special pricing, order tracking and customer data.  Information can be submitted directly from web-based forms to your application database.  This facilitates common business tasks such as real-time processing of orders and inventory tracking.  Using the development platform, you can quickly and easily provide clients with secure, browser-based, thin client, real-time access to your backend application and database.

A single web server supports one or more organizations, each with a different look and feel. This front-end web server communicates with one or more application servers, in different locations if necessary. Users visiting an organization can be required to login in order to gain access to application data and users can have access to different applications. Users never actually gain access to the application server. Rather, dynamicXport facilitates the collection and display of information, as well as submitting requests to specific programs on the application server. Security, session control and communications between the servers is handled by dynamicXport. For ultra-secure deployments, a private VPN is typically deployed to secure the communications between the web and application servers.

The included API provides session control and access between a public or private web site and applications and databases running on Unix or NT application servers.  The API allows the developer to quickly and easily integrate real-time application data within a web site.  This means you can seamlessly deliver application data through industry standard web browsers from Microsoft and Netscape without rewriting your entire application.
