The LaSt engine version 0.4, is a LaSt language interpreter specialized for the RadioWeb project. The program generates one or more HTML output files from a RadioWeb document, normally containing one or more dynamic objects. Each object is processed separately and may contain representations of data and database queries. During the processing, one or more LaSt packages will be used, and data may be accessed from databases. The LaSt engine may also be supplied with reader preferences affecting the results of the processing.
All data lookups are managed through the WSDL interface, an abstract data type allowing access to structured data. This interface permits several types of implementation, but for the RadioWeb project the WSDL interface should be connected to appropriate WOFs that generate the data needed.
The LaSt language is used for creating a presentable layout and style from the structured data, but is not the topic of this documentation. See the separate documentation for the specification of the LaSt language [Ct99].
