ya, axkit was/is a good platform for testing etc.... it is now being moved,, i think ( please dont take my word !!! also i dont want to be accused of spreading rumours ), to apache. though the axkit.org site is currently down, i suppose this may be due to it being possibly moved to apache org. my thoughts; pros - its initial setup can be a nightmare, due mostly that u need mod_perl and things to install correctly, though in the past year it is gotten admittedly much smoother. - in its basic functionality, it performs xslt transforms on your xml file and delivers the result through your webserver - nice control and caching functions using apache directives - deals with xsl:params by parsing in the url, which is a good and bad thing - extensive support with extension functions in taglibs, and of course its got perl - loads of support in the form of an active dev list and now thats its moving to apache ( i think.....) even better - good example of what a webserver should be doing in a years time, bog standard - ok performance cons - dependancy on sablotron or libxslt for parsing; though great parsers sometimes it would be nice to choose - suffers from lack of full development docs, though this is being addressed - architecture was conceived early on, which was great for us early adopters, looking forward to a refactoring of certain things which takes into account xforms and other emerging vocabs/protocols overall, i highly recc it, as a test platform, after awhile you will know if its durable enough for your commercial requirements. maybe someone closer to the axkit ( Matt S ?? ) could comment. here are some relevant articles. http://www.xml.com/search/index.ncsp?sp-q=axkit regards, jim fuller ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ian Rogers" <ian.rogers@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Xsl Mailing List" <xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, September 24, 2001 12:45 PM > hi i have just read about the AxKit.pm module. > > i just wondered what peoples opinion on this module, are there any problems > with it, what are its good and bad points, etc > > cheers > > Ian > > > XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list > XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
