Orbeon communication mechanism

Hi,

Is it true that AJAX is used as Orbeon communication mechanism ?

If that is a case, we might not be able to use it,

we have high security requirements.

Can we at least use it over HTTPS ?

Any info is very appreciated.

Thank you in advance,

Oleg

Re: Orbeon communication mechanism

Oleg,

I'm sure the developers can explain better than I, but as

I understand, indeed it uses "AJAX" that is, JavaScript

to communicate between server and client over http.

Orbeon is a java servlet (or porlet) application, so the

servlet engine, Tomcat or other, is responsible for providing

the port, context and encryption. So yes, it can be run

over https.

There are other measures to provide security, such as

the client only having access to the limited data required

to present and that this data is hash encoded when

transfered between the client and server.

One benefit is that communications to other services,

SOAP or REST, can be handled at the server -- not every

desktop.

Cheers,

Hank

Yes, the Ajax requests can run over HTTPS.

Also, Orbeon Forms has a mode which, which we call "noscript", which
doesn't use any JavaScript. We have some contributor documentation here:

Jency Thomas

is it possible to integrate orbeon with dotnet?

Hi,

I have deployed Orbeon in Tomcat/Jboss server along with my Java web
applications and configured the application such that any xforms pages
supplied by the web application are processed by Orbeon and rendered as
html output. Is the same possible with a dot net application? Ie, is it
possible to integrate orbeon with dot-net/IIS?

Thanks in advance
Jency
