Harpoon toolkit. (Internet Focus).Macromedia Inc and Allaire Corp. are to developing a toolkit that will enable Allaire ColdFusion and Allaire JRun developers to use the media capabilities of the Macromedia Flash Player. The toolkit, code-named 'Harpoon," is designed to provide developers with a set of common user interface controls for Web applications built with Allaire ColdFusion and iRun servers. Harpoon harpoon (härp  n`), weapon used for spearing whales and large fish. The early type was a flat triangular piece of metal with barbed edges and a socket for attaching a wooden handle, to the includes Flash-based user interface elements and custom
tags to access and control those components within an application. The
user interface elements, such as hierarchical menus, drop down lists,
grids and calendars, will be presented within dynamically generated Web
pages based on CFML (ColdFusion Markup Language) See ColdFusion. CFML - ColdFusion Markup Language (ColdFusion Markup Language (language, World-Wide Web) ColdFusion Markup Language - (CFML) A tag based markup language used to create ColdFusion web applications by embedding ColdFusion commands in HTML files. ) or JSP (JavaServer Page) An extension to the Java servlet technology from Sun that allows HTML to be combined with Java on the same page. The Java provides the processing, and the HTML provides the layout on the Web page. (JavaServer Pages See JSP. (programming, World-Wide Web) JavaServer Pages - (JSP) A freely available specification for extending the Java Servlet API to generate dynamic web pages on a web server. The JSP specification was written by industry leaders as part of the Java development program. ). Client-side interactions will be handled by the Macromedia Flash Player and passed back to the server without the need for a page refresh. ColdFusion and JRun developers can integrate these pre-built components into applications and control them via CFML tags (in ColdFusion) or custom JSP tags (using JRun). Designers can customise the visual look and feel of the components using Macromedia Flash 5. www.macromedia.com/uk |
