Internet technology is all about integration and interoperability. All the solutions that we have developed build on and extended systems from leading vendors. We use industry standard technologies and have developed our own new technologies to complement what is widely available on the market.

easy server pages (esp) is a set of Java technologies for presentation of data and database storage and retrieval. They address the issues of interoperability, uniformity, security and separation of presentation from data processing.

easy server pages Templates (espT) is the presentation layer of this technology, written in Java, with a subset version available in Perl. An espT page is different from a JSP page in that it is just a template. It does not allow any data access beyond what is submitted to the template and is secure without any extra work. espT allows web designers to present the data the way they want without any possibility of unauthorised access to other data. Designers work on presentation and programmers write presentation independent code. espT is not just for HTML pages: it can generate text, XML or any other markup language. espT is a tag agnostic template system. Any sequence of characters can be used as tag markers. This allows unlimited flexibility to process and generate any type of files, even preprocess and combine JSP with other server generated pages .

easy server pages DataBase (espDB) is the database access layer of this technology. espDB presents a uniform data interface to relational databases. This interface is focused on common operations (retrieve, insert and update). It resolves the differences between different dialects of SQL and different versions of JDBC. This enables an application program to use a wide range of different database servers without any modification.

These technologies are being used in our next generation Internet applications for publishing, relationship management and knowledge management. In the future, we will make these technologies available to a wider audience of developers.
