This case study demonstrates how to build a complete internet application with the functionality to list, edit, and search information across several tables in a database.
* * *
## Prototyping
In this chapter, we will build a prototype model for each table in the database.
Prototypes are a very convenient starting point for developing applications.
* * *
## Prototype Models
First, create a folder for the prototypes. Name this folder "Prototypes".
Then, create a prototype model for each table in the database.
Use SELECT * from each table and save the models as XML files:
## Model: Proto_Customers.xml
Demo
SELECT * FROM Customers
## Model: Proto_Suppliers.xml
Demo
SELECT * FROM Suppliers
## Model: Proto_Products.xml
Demo
SELECT * FROM Products
* * *
## Prototype View
Create a prototype view, save it as Demo_Prototype.html, and try it out:
## View: Demo_Prototype.htm
Customers
customers=new AppML("appml.php","Prototypes/Customers");
customers.run("List01");

## Now Put It All Together
Finally, create a simple prototype page for all prototype models with a small amount of JavaScript coding:
## Demo_Prototype_Views.htm
Demo Applications
function myOpen(pname)
{
var app_obj
app_obj=new AppML("appml.php","Prototypes/" + pname);
app_obj.run("Place01");
}
