WebStorage Documentation
Version 1.1
WebStorage is a web application for storing and retrieving files in and from a PostgreSQL relational database using Firefox/Mozilla compatible web browsers.
The server side part is written in PHP. The user interface uses HTML and AJAX. The code can be roughly divided in
- client code, which uses HTML and JavaScript. The HTML pages are generated by PHP scripts. The JavaScript code is executed by web browsers.
- server side scripts written in PHP providing HTML pages.
- back-end scripts written in PHP providing XML documents.
The back-end code was introduced in order to provide a way for AJAX to access functionalities of WebStorage. Starting with version 1.1 of WebStorage, other clients than web browsers can use HTTP to access the functionalities provided by WebStorage using the back-end code. See JWebStorage for an example Java application using HTTP and the back-end scripts.
The diagram below shows the architecture of WebStorage.
