Hits: 427
Description: This paper shows an environment, OOHDM-Web that allows template driven Website for applications designed using, OOHDM. The authors show how this environment allows direct mapping of navigation and interface constructs of OOHDM into a library of functions in the CGI scripting environment CGI-LUA, extended with the DB-LUA package. OOHDM-Web allows implementation of hypermedia applications as CGI scripts that produce dynamically generated pages, whose contents are fed from a database and integrated with pre-defined templates. The paper presents the advantages of combining the two techniques, template-driven implementations and design methods, reaping benefits of their respective strengths.
