Dear Mr. Dubinko
I wanted to contact you because I wanted to talk to you about XForms. I didn't find a better way to contact you, so here's my shot at it. I know you've written a book on XForms. So, here's my shot.
I understand XForms is a way to submit data as an XML document using a form on a web browser, right? In a way, it completely replaces what MS InfoPath was developed for, because people will be able to exchange XML documents on the web. Right?
I understand that XForms is still at a development phase by many companies small and big. But I noticed that they all use some type of an application or a plug-in to submit data as an XML.
This might sound weird, but our company, 3Ksoft, developed a product called BaseXML, which essentially does what XForm is set out to do. Our engine sits on the server side and from a user's point-of-view, all they see is a webform. And as the user fills in data and presses the submit button, an XML document is sent. Of course the user doesn't know whether it XML or what, but XML is exchanged. Just as what XForms sets out to do.
We've already finished developing our engine as well as an authoring tool for these forms a while ago, but never got the chance to show it to the world. If you have any questions, please email me for I'll explain more about it and possible answer questions you might have.
Please do. the company website is at www.3ksoft.com
