Object Oriented Mapping for HTML Documents.
Francesco Garelli, Carlo Ferrari · 2001
Emerging distributed technologies aim to provide simple and powerful tools for web services design and implementation. Main vendors provide modern frameworks so that a good coordination between web interfaces and object oriented paradigms can be supported. These frameworks aim to divide a web application in different logical tiers and they describe these tiers by a object oriented architecture. Unluckily the object oriented facilities are usually constrained to the application components which belong to the application, while a comfortable way to access external web services which run on different hosts, is missing.
