Building web application with XQuery

Abstract

This paper proposes to design and implement a new XQuery-based framework for generating web application. It supports the development of both client and server side program in a uniform way using XQuery. Further more, through translating the fully XQuery based web application into corresponding client and server side code in appropriate target language, it enables web application developed using our framework to run as normal J2EE application. An online book-shop application is given as an example to illustrate how to build a web application using our framework. It shows how our framework can simplify web application development and improves flexibility. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
