Webapplication on its own

[Jelle de Jong]

Hi all,

I earlier post about wanting to create my own database for webpurposes. But
you've recommended me not to do this! ;-)

But maybe you can help me on this. I want to create a Webapplication
framework, and it need to run on a default IIS, with .NET Framework running.
And no database server is needed.

I divided my project in:
- Data: opening, saving and editing
- Caching: output and data
- Divide content and layout with XML and XSLT

I want to create a web-platform on which I can create objects, insert/update
these objects into the data-layer and present them as XML to the
XSLTransformer to create (X)HTML and style it with CSS.

I want to create a very dynamic and general datamodel, so I can create any
webapplication/website I want. This is a small idea:

Container 1---n Item 1---1 Page 1---n Group 1---n Field

So I have a container which can contain 1 or more Item(s). Each Item has 1
Page. Each Page contains 1 or more Groups, which can contain 1 or more
Fields. Now it is possible te create any type of webpage. Field will have a
property Type, which can be a Date, Time, HTML, Plain text, Dropdown,
Multiselect or Boolean.

This is my first idea. Do you have any idea how to setup a good data-layer,
for saving these object etc.? And I cannot use a normal database. I already
build a DLL with all the objects (Container, Item, Page, Group, etc.) and
its relations. And I have build an XML/XSLT layer for presentation.

Thanks in advance!

Gr.,
Jelle

Eventually I also want to be able to create extra DLL's with plugin
features, like connecting to a webservice or connect with the Flickr-API.

Jelle,

Not that I want to shoot your ideas down, but why do this? What does
ASP.NET ^not^ offer you which you are trying to do here?

I just want to build an application where everything is divided, so i can
easily adjust my layout by fixing some XSLT files, of adjust my data-layer
when I want more data.

But what are your ideas about this?
