Abstract

This paper shows an environment, OOHDM-Web, that allows template driven website for applications designed using, OOHDM.. We show how this environment allows direct mapping of navigation and interface constructs of OOHDM into a library of functions in the CGI scripting environment CGI-LUA, extended with the DB-LUA package. OOHDM-Web allows implementation of hypermedia applications as CGI scripts that produce dynamically generated pages, whose contents are fed from a database and integrated with pre-defined templates. The paper presents the advantages of combining the two techniques, template-driven implementations and design methods, reaping benefits of their respective stregths.
