Whitebeam is an open source web-application server built on PostgreSQL for data
storage and the Mozilla SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine for application logic.
Started in 2000 and released as open source in 2001, Whitebeam is a mature
product that has been in commercial operation hosting real web applications for
over 6 years. Examples of commercial applications :
http://www.whitebeam.org/community/users.rhtm
The latest release (1.1.5) follows several years of continuous development in
both performance and functionality. JavaScript bindings are provided to the
PostgreSQL database, LibGD for image manipulation, SMTP for email creation, HTTP
for SOAP and XML/RPC like applications amongst others.
For those that don't want to write SQL, Whitebeam 'Templates' provide high-level
functional abstractions. In addition the templates avoid any possibility of 'SQL
injection' security issues common with other web development platforms. Examples
of 'templated' functionality include hierarchical tree-like catalogues, session
management, contact/membership management and data collections.
Full documentation is available on the Whitebeam web-site
http://www.whitebeam.org
Or from the SourceForge project page :
http://sourceforge.net/projects/whitebeam
Whitebeam runs as an Apache web-server module, either on Apache 1.3, 2.0 or 2.2.
