ATWF stands for '''A''' '''T'''cl '''W'''eb '''F'''ramework or '''A'''rnulf's '''T'''cl '''W'''eb '''F'''ramework


It is the start of an Implementation of the collection of ideas for a web framework to be found here: [ToW Tcl on WebFreeWay]

----
The implementation is done with [itcl-ng].

[apw] 2010-04-02 I have implemented the Db layer for it and it uses [tdbc] from [kbk] for connecting to/working with databases and I have reimplemented a big part of Db package of the [php] [Zend Framework] in Tcl in the last 2 weeks. Simple selects/inserts/updates/deletes are now running, but there is still a lot of work in debugging and testing that part. The syntax for using the interfaces is identical to the [Zend Framework]. This is mostly the '''model''' part of [mvc]. For generating web pages I will use [Templates and subst] the substify proc from [jcw] (this will be part of the '''view''' part of [mvc]).

[apw] 2010-04-05 I have now implemented a big part of the controller layer also by reimplementing the equivalent sources from [php] [Zend Framework] in Tcl. So now a bigger part of '''controller''' of [mvc] is done (needs still a lot of testing) so the missing part of [mvc] is the '''view''' part (to be done soon).

[apw] 2010-04-21 The first version of the '''view''' part is now also done. The first request using apache2 and cgi-bin (to be different in the future) is routed and executed as expected and produces a html page with data from a mysql database. There are now about 30.000 lines of [Zend Framework] converted to Tcl. The total number of lines of [Zend Framework] is about 140.000 lines and about 27.000 lines thereof are targeted to [PDF] handling.

[apw] 2010-05-09 Implementation has continued, now there are about 55.000 lines rewritten and the first web pages using apache 2.2.15 and rivet 2.0.0 are running including context switch between .html and .xml output depending on a format=... parameter. The .html respective .xml page context is generated using [Templates and subst], which means there is a .html or .xml template with inserted Tcl statements and the substify proc is generating the real page to be sent to the client.

Stay tuned.
