Implementation Demonstrations

[ engine overview | imnmotion.com | Stephen W. Cote ]

These demonstrations were put together to help developers use the Engine for Web Applications framework.

Note: Mozilla 1.3b has a bug in the XSLT implementation that was fixed in the 1.3 release. The bug pretty much ruined the ability to perform XPath queries, and thus prevented both the Task Service and Engine Service from functioning correctly.
