The XML Forms Generator (XFG) provides a jump-start for form development. It can
quickly and automatically produce valid and functional forms containing XForms markup
embedded within an XHTML document. The input to form generation can be an XML data
instance with or without a backing XML Schema, or a WSDL document. Data Web Services,
which is based on SQL scripts and Store Procedures, is a database related application
of traditional Web Services. IBM Data Studio is a client tool for generating Data Web Services visually with the help of direct connection to database.
The integration between XFG and Data Studio can enable to generate XForms/XHTMLs from Data
Web Services generated by Data Studio. This integration provides advantages such as joining the development of UI pages and Data access seamlessly, reducing the workload of UI development from Data Web Services, visualizing the pureXML UI development with full-support of validation, etc.
