Castor - A marketplace Introduction Use of Castor in other open source projects Companies and their commercial offerings
Introduction As already explained, Castor is an open-source product. This means that the source code is available at no charge and may be obtained using CVS or downloaded via http://dist.codehaus.org/castor. Due to the nature of the project, there is no guaranteed level of support (of commercial quality) offered by the project and its community. As outlined here, the online documentation is the best place to start. Having said that, it is noteworthy to mention that there's plenty of companies out there that offer ... | - | (commercial) products based on Castor | - | consulting services related to various aspects of Castor | - | commercial support related to Castor | This page provides you with various reference points, addressing most of the above areas. This includes a directory of companies offering (commercial) services, a directory of success-stories (highlighting the (commercial) use of Castor in the industry), etc. We hope that the information provided is of value to you, our customers, and we are more than happy to discuss any suggestions/recommendations related to this offering. Use of Castor in other open source projects This section identifies various (mainly) open source projects where Castor is used and/or that offer tight integration with Castor or parts thereof. Apache Cocoon is a web publishing framework built around the concepts of separation of concerns and component-based web development. As part of this framework, Cocoon provides a component, the CastorTransformer, that marshalls an object hierarchy (for which a mapping file or a class descriptor hierarchy exists) to XML and inserts it as a stream of SAX events into a Cocoon pipeline. Further information on the integration of Apache Cocoon and Castor can be found here. Companies and their commercial offerings
| Contact | Werner Guttmann email: werner.guttmann@anecon.com phone: | URL | http://www.anecon.com | Description | Anecon offers expertise in the area of J2EE applications, with a strong emphasis on the integration of persistence frameworks, object/relational mapping tools and XML data binding frameworks in general and Castor JDO and XML in particular; it supports clients in their focus to integrate such frameworks into their enterprise computing platforms. | | Contact | Andrew Fawcett email: andrew.fawcett@coda.com phone: | URL | http://www.coda.com | Description | "As a developer of international financial management and procurement systems, CODA started a project to XML-enable our Financials application server," noted Andrew Fawcett of CODA. "We made two major technology decisions. The first was to use the W3C XML Schema to describe our XML messages. The second was to facilitate the use of an XML Data Binding framework. This allows our developers to process XML messages in a more productive and intuitive way within their programs, without requiring extensive training and experience with XML or its traditional APIs such as SAX or DOM. In performing an analysis of XML Data Binding frameworks, we found that Castor was the only implementation at the time that met our needs in terms of its support for W3C XML Schema and its ability to integrate with our Web infrastructure." "In addition," Fawcett continued, "we use Castor internally within our Web client-enabling framework (based on the Java Servlet API). Java source code produced by the Castor source code generator is used to dynamically bind data to our Web forms. The resulting data can then be marshaled directly between our Web applications and application server." | | Contact | Ralf Joachim email: ralf.joachim@syscon-world.de phone: +49 7071 369098 | URL | http://www.syscon-world.de | Description | Syscon is primarily concerned with the developement of custom-build/purpose-build software solutions and the design of database systems since its foundation in 1996. For 4 years we have been developing Java applications in enterprise environment. For these applications, we frequently use our own client/server framework side by side with open source projects such as the data binding framework Castor, where one of our engineers is an active committer. | |
