Paragon Description

Paragon provides a fast application development framework. Paragon provides a fast application development framework.Paragon is a powerful, robust, and flexible fast application development framework. It contains a structured library of extensible components used for modelling real world objects and processes, and is a true 3-tier system defining an abstraction between the presentation, business logic, and data access layers. It provides a set of extensible APIs for modelling custom business logic and employs a simplified Model-View-Controller design paradigm. APIs are also provided for a multi-lingual and mark-up agnostic graphical user interface display, relational database connection and communication, and more.Here are some key features of "Paragon":· flexible graphical user interface display that is multi-lingual and mark-up agnostic· easy to use relational database connection and communication for relational databases supported by PHP (currently Postgresql and MySql supported).· simple SMTP/MIME message generation using Internet or Unix domain sockets· flexible authentication and authorisation of HTTP(s) requests.· configurable error handling· configurable file uploading via HTTP(s)These extensible components are abstracted from a set of flexible and extensible API's used to model the custom business logic required by any web application.The typical applications that Paragon can be used to create are.user management with subscription.content management systems.product catalogue/shopping cart.threaded multi-view bulletin board systems.intranet systems.extranets systems.groupware systemsWhat's New in This Release:Added the following classes* common.AbstractAttributesObject - New abstract class that abstracts model.AbstractDatabaseObject into a common API that provides a mechanism to model a real world "entity" with a unique set of data attributes.* http.Cookie - Simple class for encapsulating a HTTP cookie in Paragon.* model.FileDatabaseObject - Implementation of the AssociatedDatabaseObject used to define a common API that models a data object with a computer files meta data in its attributes.* model.actions.AddFileAction - New action class that handles the general case add action for a FileDatabaseObject* model.actions.DecrementSortOrderAction - New class that handles decrementing the sort order of the marshaled instance.* model.actions.EditFileAction - New action class that handles the general case edit action for a FileDatabaseObject* model.actions.IncrementSortOrderAction - New class that handles incrementing the sort order of the marshaled instance.* model.actions.PublishAction - New action class that handles publishing the marshaled instance.* model.actions.RemoveFileAction - New action class that handles the general case remove action for a FileDatabaseObject* model.actions.TogglePublishAction - New action class that handles toggling the publish status of the marshaled instance.* model.actions.UnpublishAction - New action class that handles unpublishing the marshaled instance.* model.attributes.DateTimeAttribute - New attribute class that models a datetime database field.* model.attributes.EnumAttribute - New attribute class that models an enumerated database field.* model.attributes.FloatAttribute - New attribute class that models a float database field.* tools.ArrayIterator - New class which defines an API for iteration through the elements in a array* tools.CsvParser - New class which defines an API for reading/writing CSV data* Moved, renamed and modified the class tools.HttpFileUpload to http.FileUploadModified configure.pl script.
