DevX Article About Luxor and XUL By Laurence Moroney Now Online

Hello,

  Laurence Moroney a senior architect with the Reuters
Innovation Labs and Rapid Development Groups in New
York City has written up an article for the DevX site
about Luxor, Mozilla and XUL.

   Laurence writes:

   The application that you will develop as a sample
in this article is adapted from the famous Luxor
calculator app, but has been extended to make it a Web
service consumer. XMethods.Net host a Web service that
accepts a ZIP code and returns a temperature. The WSDL
for this file is available for inspection at
http://www.xmethods.net/sd/2001/TemperatureService.wsdl.

  The download included with this article includes all
the source code as well as the JDeveloper workspace
and project files. You can use these, or if you prefer
a different IDE, you will need access to the Luxor jar
file, available for download from the Luxor XUL
homepage at http://luxor-xul.sourceforge.net. 


   Laurence concludes:

   Don't forget that XUL also gives you a miniature
Web server that you can embed in your apps to give
peer-to-peer functionality, a scripting interpreter
that is Python-based, and portal and template engines.
It all adds up to a pretty compelling framework. With
a rich and competent offering like Luxor XUL ready to
use, it's easy to wonder why anyone would wait for
XAML.
