Software AG, a global leader in business
infrastructure software, today announced that it has published Tamino
On Rails as an Open Source contribution under Sourceforge.net . Ruby on
Rails is a rapidly growing, Open Source framework for developing
database- driven Web applications. This package extends
interoperability to the Tamino XML Server, Software AG's native XML
database management system. Tamino users can now take advantage of the
speed and ease of development offered by Ruby on Rails to more quickly
create new applications. By building these applications using an XML
database that is optimized for the Web, developers can create faster,
more dynamic and better performing applications.
"Due to its native support for all XML document types and schemas,
Tamino can quickly configure multiple data sources into a single view.
This makes it a premier platform for creating highly-dynamic,
multi-channel Web applications. As demonstrated by today's
announcement, we're committed to maintaining Tamino's position as the
leading XML database," said Dr. Peter Kurpick, Software AG's executive
board member with management responsibilities for the webMethods
business line. "With minimal coding and configuration required, Ruby on
Rails makes it comparatively easy to develop highly responsive
applications and Website that fully leverage Tamino's extensibility.
Furthermore, Tamino helps to overcome some of the lack of adaptability
inherent in the framework due to the underlying support for complex
data types and manipulations that it offers."
Tamino On Rails, v1.0 provides applications using Ruby and the Rails
Web application framework with access to XML-based data sets in
XQuery-capable databases. By doing so, it minimizes the time and effort
needed to create Web-based front ends to XML datasets while improving
programmer productivity and accuracy. This package contains all
Tamino-specific Rails framework resources including functions to access
/ create / modify / delete data sets stored in Tamino.
The published software has been implemented and tested using
Software AG's Tamino XML Server and provides connectivity to other XML
DBMSs as well. It is available free-of-charge under the liberal Apache
license and can be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/taminoonrails .
