Cotsec Forms
Forms
Cotsec Forms is designed to enable the rapid development
of all styles of forms in all environments, including:
- Web based forms
- PC and Macintosh forms within applications
- Mobile devices (such as mobile/cell phones) [in
beta]
Cotsec forms are not designed using a form painter,
but rather through the definition of the fields that
must be present on the forms, and a layout compiler
that will place the fields on a generated application
in a consistent and easy to use manner.
By using this technique, the style of all forms across
the enterprise can be changed very quickly, as well
as enabling new environments such as mobile phones or
voice based systems that have either no forms environment
or a radically different forms environment to be quickly
targetted using existing form definitions.

| Struts |
The Struts compiler will generate:
- A JSP fragment that will be included
into JSP pages
- The Struts Form Java file - this will
include validation for all form fields
- The Struts Action Java file which will
create events within the Cotsec Control product
- The Struts-config.xml file with actions
and form fields defined
Cotsec Forms will deploy directly to a Tomcat
server, or create a WAR file that can be installed
in any J2EE compliant application server

| Swing |
A Swing compiler is included and generates Swing
code that both generates standard Swing forms,
as well as binds via EJB to
|
| Eclipse |
Eclipse utilises it's own implementation
of graphical libraries (SWT). Cotsec supports and
generates Eclipse SWT forms. |
| Windows Forms |
A Windows Forms compiler (C#) is included
that compiles the model to a Windows Forms compliant
application. This application binds via Web Services
to a SQL database |
.NET ASPX |
A .NET ASPX compliant compiler is
included that generates .NET ASPX files that bind
via Web Services to a database via Cotsec Datalink |
