Smart421 has today delivered a dynamic presentation at the WebSphere User Group (WUG) conference at IBM Bedfont. Entitled “Building a secure electronic forms solution with DataPower in a week“ this presentation demonstrated Smart421’s real-world experience with IBM WebSphere technologies.

Abstract: DataPower XI50 has a broad set of features. By using them innovative ways, Smart421 built an electronic form submission solution for a national revenue collection service which consisted of only one component: the XI50.

Utilising existing features of MS Excel, backing spreadsheets with XML schemas, and then using DataPower to service and accept submissions of the document, a ‘one box solution’ was created for the client allowing extremely quick development and delivery of a live solution in less than 1 week.

This presentation will talk through the design of the solution, concentrating on separation of concerns, reusability and maintainability. A design pattern around 2 step validation (schema XSD level, and business level) will also be discussed.
