I have uploaded AxKit to CPAN. Hopefully this time I have significantly improved the installation procedure, as I fear that is one of the things preventing people from trying/using AxKit. AxKit is a high performance XML Application Server based on mod_perl. Every bit of programming you do in an AxKit server is based around XML. This has the advantage of one set of techniques to learn, and aids rapid development (honest, it does - I put together take23.org in just a couple of days, and its all based on AxKit). Secondly, though perhaps more importantly, AxKit focuses on allowing you to separate content, presentation and logic, into clearly defined layers. More importantly, AxKit works. Even though it is new technology (I started writing AxKit last June), we have a few live sites, and many people interested in learning this new technology. You can find all the details you need to know about AxKit at http://axkit.org/ Changes since AxKit 1.0 are: (1.0 - 1.1 pre) - Uses iconv rather than Unicode::* modules to do character set conversions - Fix for AxMediaType/AxStyleName bug - Fix for compilation under mod_perl 1.24_01 - Fix for relative URI's and file:// sub requests - Minor stylesheet cache bug fixed - Updated Filter provider for Apache::Filter >= 1.13 - Fix for filehandle leak - Fix for Virtual Host Stash bug. (1.1 pre - 1.2) - XPathScript can interpolate "{xpath}" in $t hash - reduced required modules list - Removed Sablotron from AxKit.pm due to some segfaults - Fixed segfaults in aborted conversions with iconv - Added AxResetProcessors - Improved Apache::Filter support - Much improved installer - Many XSP changes/fixes. Now uses XML::XPath DOM tree. - Memoize methods that call stat() in Cache and Providers - Many miscellaneous improvements Available on CPAN in the Apache modules directory, or at the axkit.org web site. I hope to have an introduction to AxKit on Take23 reasonably soon. -- <Matt/> /|| ** Director and CTO ** //|| ** AxKit.com Ltd ** ** XML Application Serving ** // || ** http://axkit.org ** ** XSLT, XPathScript, XSP ** // \\| // ** Personal Web Site: http://sergeant.org/ ** \\// //\\ // \\
