Although this is a topic that has been around a while, it is still viable, and I was curious if anyone has built anything that provides similar capability using direct database connections. I am thinking about using existing mechanisms to provide an XML products to a consumer without having to convert data storage. The Data Island functions provide a much easier interface for a consumer of data. For example, if you provide an xml dump of database content via some web service, the using end could, hypothetically, use this data in the way described, but do it live instead of writing an xml file and then accessing it using Data Islands in the traditional sense. Thoughts?
What about combing with Ajax and rewriting the data island from client script when XMLHttpRequest comes back for a continuously updated control. We eschewed data island binding in favor of HTML control templates that use Ajax to rebuild just the control in question from fresh server data. Not sure if data binding handles the updates from client script.
xml data islands as described here are nothing new and would be familiar to anyone who has looked at xml in the past few years. What could have been more challenging would have been to demonstrate cross-browser data islands, which are possible though not yet as flexible
How about client-side cross-browser XSLT? I've been playing around with it for several months. The displaying is easy, while the updates are a little harder. Basically the binding can happen on the fly.
It will not as secure as done at the server. So why need to do at the client.
