Using XML to dynamically instantiate Swing components in a generic GUI

Thread view:

S.T.A. - 09 Dec 2003 05:59 GMT

Is there a standard for representing a Java Swing GUI in XML? I know that
Asperon (AppProjector) has defined a proprietary XML vocabulary for doing
this. I would like to create a web-application framework similar to this
using standards and open source components if possible.

Thanks,
STA
