In this paper, we analyze enabling technologies for typical e-business applications in terms of their multi-tier system architecture and their Model-Control-View (MCV) programming model. Based on observed limitations of the JSP (Java Server Page) technique commonly adopted for dynamic page generation (the view logic), we instead pro- pose an alternative solution approach, namely, a generic schema map- ping strategy to generate XML documents and DTDs from enterprise data beans. First, we describe in detail the XML generation process for the content composition logic. We also outline the XSL processing for the transformation logic. The separation of these two logics results in a generic solution to the bean viewing problem. In particular, it improves the bean reusability via its XML representative compared to the rigid strategy of hard-coding logics into JSP. Our proposed XML mapping so- lution represents a potentially valuable addition to future versions of the enterprise data beans specification. The trade-off between performance and flexibility of these alternative solutions is discussed. Lastly, we sur- vey the state-of-art research results and emerging stardards related to this XML model mapping approach.
