Disco Web Driver is a powerful HTML &
email template processor, that gives you the ability to quickly
provide interactive features that would normally
require hours of complex programming in some low level and
cumbersome programming language. Now, you can build
powerful web applications with nothing more than
HTML templates. That's right, your web designer can be
producing powerful, interactive websites with little
programming knowledge. Just embed a few special HTML style
tags in your existing web pages and see the results. Distributing
your web enabled products is made
simple with Disco's free bundled Web Server.
Database and operating system independence.
Using Java's virtual machine technology from Sun microsystems,
Java servlets and standard ODBC or JDBC
database connectivity method, you need not be concerned with
which computer, operating system, webserver or database you
choose. Standardised connectivity methods
ensure that your system can easily expand or
migrate to faster computers and more
powerful database engines, as higher demands are
placed on your website. You can upgrade your
website with new features without needing to restart the
server and disrupt any users currently logged on.
Extending Disco and integrating
your existing system has never been easier with
Disco's new tag extension method. You can very easily build
your own new tags using the Java language. Gain access to form
parameters, page variables and many
utility methods to make implementation of
new features quick and easy.
All template processing is executed on the server side, to
ensure maximum speed and compatibility with client browsers.
ie. Replace javascript and style sheets with Disco tags and
variable functions. Security is maintained while only raw HTML is
returned to the browser.
In summary, full application logic and CGI functionality is available to all Disco templates. In conjunction with Disco's high level features, you can quickly build functional web based applications and interactive web sites.
