Whitebeam Description

Rapid e-business development Whitebeam is an open source "Web Application Server" aimed to reduce the development cost of sophisticated web applications. Applications are written as a set of XML pages that contain embedded JavaScript. These pages look very similar to traditional client-side web pages and the skills required are very similar. The resulting environment allows competent client side web designers that have a good understanding of HTML and JavaScript to migrate their skills into server-side development.Whitebeam integrates Posgres, Apache, Mozilla's SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine with it's own powerful XML/XPath based secure application framework.NOTE: Whitebeam is licensed under the terms of the BSD License.
