Modules
APPLIWEB will be a web based IDE consisting of a database and many modules.
The modules will work together to provide an easy-to-development web experience.
At the beginning, we see 4 core modules
1. HTML Editor
The HTML should let the developer see exactly what the result would be. It should be editable by a Web Designer because we’ve seen so many good web designs completely trashed by bad developers.
The editor will allow you to find the business objects of your application and bind their attributes to displayed items.
The editor will allow you to edit CSS rules on the fly and see immediately the result.
2. Object Model Editor
This will allow you to edit / create the business model of your application.
Using this editor you define the classes and attributes that will contains the data managed by your application.
The GPL edition will then automatically create a database suitable to store your objects.
The Entreprise Edition will use a mapper tool to map these objects to your existing Database.
3. DataSet Editor
This editor will use the objects defined in the Object Model Editor to create multiple datasets.
These datasets can be specific to a client, contains core data for all clients, or only data for custom tests.
A change in the object model will be automatically reflected in all datasets.
4. Formula Editor
For complex business logic, the formula editor will be handy to describe them.
Using this editor you can combine in any way you like the objects and their properties to update other objects.
