In our own in-house development xJen has cut down on development work by 50%. A great strength of xJen is it's flexibility; we can customize xJen to use any corporate templates to auto-generate large amounts of code, thus avoiding a lot of tedious and error-prone hand-coding of the "no-brainer" side of software development. If you would like an xJen engine developed for you company just contact us.

Ouch. I would imagine this sort of approach would be powerful if you are cranking out Chinese menu type apps -- similar apps build of various combinations of canned code, with a little customisation, e.g. retail websites, databases of people, inventory systems. I would imagine the problem would be in handling something new outside the existing framework. Either you have to add a wrinkle to the engine to handle it, or have some escape hatch to add a customisation that is not fragile (engine implementation dependent) and can be understood without a deep knowledge of the engine implementation. The irony is XML itself is so ruddy fluffy. I'd think you would want some terser syntax than that. It is sort of 3 steps forward and 1 step back. -- Canadian Mind Products, Roedy Green.
