    XML based language for defining web based user interfaces

    Hi,

    I am working on a practical university project and its our job to define
    a xml-based language for describing web based user interfaces. One
    special thing is that it should be possible to have workflowas included
    in the definition. For example, if someone selects an option this has an
    effect on the other options the user is presented. Our first assignment
    was to have a look at what already exists. After googling a while I
    could find several projects working on stuff like this. Unfortunately
    some are already dead, some are used on the browser-side and some are
    mainly used for gui user interfaces.

    I would like to ask you, if there is any project which doesn't only
    promise the world, but also provide the functionailty we need in real use.

    Ff there are attempts that only provide part of the functionaility, that
    would be a great starting point. Does anyone here in this list have some
    links he can give me?

      You might look at this

      http://www.xwt.org/


      which uses xml to deliver the gui for an app over the internet.

          I believe that the InfoPath component of Office 2003 does something like
          this.

          Basically, you can specify a form in XML which includes the various options
          and I believe even some aspects of workflow.

          I have never used it and may be way out of order!

              Ufff ... I just had a look at the InfoPath stuf ... it seems that this
              does exactly what our project shoul do and goes a lot further (graphical
              designer for the forms) ... the only thing we would need is to have it
              server Web-Clients not only InfoPath clients. Do you know of a thing
              like this?
