PropelX 2.0 from Dublin software house Propylon is a graphical development centre that can be used to design, develop and deploy data integration systems.
PropelX uses XML to simplify the task of integrating content and data systems. It addresses a time-consuming and difficult element of enterprise and B2B integration projects. Rather than modify systems to conform to each other, Propylon’s products mediate between the systems using data transformation technology.
According to Propylon, this mediation approach is more cost effective and simpler than normal integration efforts such as standardised schema-based integration or centralised hub and message buses.
Propylon was also one of the co-submitters with Sun Microsystems and others of the XML Pipeline Definition Language to the W3C in February 2002. PropelX leverages the methodologies underlying XPipe and XML Pipeline Definition Language to produce the next generation in enterprise integration.
PropelX is based on XPipe, an XML pipeline processing methodology developed by Propylon’s CTO Sean McGrath. It allows a user to define their data transformations (particularly XML transforms) as a series of standalone, re-usable components that are assembled together in a pipe that executes the transformation.
The development centre is intended for enterprises deploying high volume, complex integration projects that have a high degree of XML transformation requirements, for example publishing, telecommunications and government.
PropelX transformations can be comprised of almost any type of data processing modules including fragments of XSLT, Java classes, python or executable legacy components. Building on the Xpipe methodology and J2EE underpinnings, PropelX significantly reduces the effort required to create scalable data transformation systems. By including XSLT fragments within its transformation components, PropelX allows XSLT to be re-used and scaled.
