A FRAMEWORK FOR INTERACTIVELY HELPFUL WEB FORMS
Keywords:
Adaptivity, forms, frameworkAbstract
AdapForms is a framework for adaptive forms, consisting of a form denition language designating structure and constraints upon acceptable input, and a software architecture that continuously validates and adapts the form presented to the user. The validation is performed server-side, which enables the use of complex business logic without duplicate code. Thus, the state of the form is kept persistently at the server, and the system ensures that all submitted forms are valid and type safe.
