RefleX is a Java Active Tags engine : RefleX project can run Active Sheets, like shown in this examples.

RefleX is a powerful tool that integrates XML technologies with other non-XML technologies, according to the Active Tags specifications. RefleX also implements many optional Active Tags modules.

RefleX provides a command line interface, a servlet, but can also be embedded as is in an outer application.

RefleX uses XML tags as actions to perform. It allows to write Web applications as well as batch scripts just with tags, to browse non-XML objects like if they were XML with XPath, and much more. Have the RefleX !

What's New in This Release:
This release introduces XUnit, a tool that helps to design test suites for programs that are dealing with XML data.
One of the most outstanding new features is the ability to filter SAX streams with XPath patterns: the tutorial section has a runnable example where a 15Mo file is connected to a SAX pipeline with a rule-based filter.
XInclude and the XPointer framework are also supported.
You can XMLize raw text with a tokenizer or XPath patterns.
