That is correct, there is very little for the HTML/web page designers to
learn.   Here is an example of Enhydra's XMLC in use.

The XMLC compiler takes the a plain HTML file that includes this line
    <INPUT TYPE='TEXT' SIZE='50' NAME='COMPANY' ID="Company">
and creates a Java class that contains a representation of the web page.
The ID= part is a legal, but little used, clause in HTML.  (Techie note: the
representation in the Java class is based on the industry standard DOM
model.)

The lines of Java code that shows the web page with a value in the "Company"
text box is:

// define the 'page' variable  and
// generate the HTML out of the ConsultMHTML.class generated by
// Endyra's XMLC compiler.
private ConsultMHTML page   = null;
page = (ConsultMHTML)myComms.xmlcFactory.create(ConsultMHTML.class);

// Put the value of the company variable into the HTML element
page.getElementCompany().setValue(company);

// send the HTML to the user.   Enhydra infrastructure does the rest.
return page;
