KOW Framework

Welcome to the KOW Framework redmine page! Here you can see how the development process is going on and participate on it's growth.

This is an ambitious project created to facilitate the development of business Ada applications and web applications in general.

We provide means to connect to database backend (including tasking safe connection pools), load configuration text files in a easy way, store your record types in a database backend, deal with authorization, authentication and accounting in the same library and a component centric web framework, with some built in components.

Each project in the framework is in it's own highly extensible and the build system is strongly based on GNAT Project files.

If you are interested in checking out the development version, you can do so by cloning our public git repositories:

First, you'll need to download the most basic component:

• git clone git://kow.com.br/base.git

Here is a listing of the modules we have so far:

• git clone git://kow.com.br/apq.git
• git clone git://kow.com.br/apq-ct_lib.git
• git clone git://kow.com.br/apq-mysql.git
• git clone git://kow.com.br/apq-odbc.git
• git clone git://kow.com.br/apq-postgresql.git
• git clone git://kow.com.br/apqprovider.git
• git clone git://kow.com.br/apqprovider-ct_lib.git
• git clone git://kow.com.br/apqprovider-mysql.git
• git clone git://kow.com.br/apqprovider-postgresql.git
• git clone git://kow.com.br/apq-sybase.git
• git clone git://kow.com.br/kowconfig.git
• git clone git://kow.com.br/kowconfig-text.git
• git clone git://kow.com.br/kowconfig-xml.git
• git clone git://kow.com.br/kowdb.git
• git clone git://kow.com.br/kowdist.git
• git clone git://kow.com.br/kowdist-corba.git
• git clone git://kow.com.br/kowent.git
• git clone git://kow.com.br/kowlib.git
• git clone git://kow.com.br/kowlog.git
• git clone git://kow.com.br/kowplug.git
• git clone git://kow.com.br/kowsec.git
• git clone git://kow.com.br/kowsec-entities.git
• git clone git://kow.com.br/kowview.git
• git clone git://kow.com.br/kowview-entities.git

Once you have cloned the modules you are interest in testing you must source base/export_path.sh from the root folder for all your local git repositories.

In other words, let's say you've cloned base.git into ~/dev/git/framework (hence, the base folder is ~/dev/git/framework/base):

ogro@hank ~/dev/git/framework $ source base/export_path.sh 

After that all you need is to make the desired component with a side note; when compiling modules that depend on any of the APQ drivers (apq-mysql, apq-postgresql, apq-ct_lib or apq-sybase) you MUST rum make inside those project folders too. apq-odbc has no complete build scripts yet.
