Let XCAP
handle the load

part of an enhanced user experience

Many modern web sites rely heavily on user generated content. We all know the giants: Youtube, Myspace and Facebook - enormously popular and with one thing in common: without user generated content they would not exist. There are also traditional companies that have embraced the same ideas to increase their offering and customer loyalty; here we can find many media companies like The Guardian with their blogs and comments and retailers like Amazon.com with ratings and reviews. XCAP is built to make the transition from editorial/published content to user generated input as smooth and safe as possible.

XCAP offers a flexible, cost-effective and scalable community solution that takes care of the security aspects of publishing content that you as a service provider have no control over - with XCAP, you do.

Technical Requirements

The main technical focus when developing XCAP has been to satisfy the following requirements:

  • Stability - the platform can handle a huge amount of simultaneous users
  • Speed - the platform is fast and efficient, minimising hardware requirements
  • Scalability - the system can expand almost infinitely by adding more hardware

Since XCAP is suited for an endless variety of products, more requirements are added:

  • Module-based - the platform is divided into modules separate from each other to ease developmen
  • Configurable - most aspects of the platform is configurable
  • Versatile - the components included are versatile and fit different purposes

XCAP is a licensed product, with a wide range of developers using it. Therefore it also uses components that are as standardised as possible:

  • Standard java - the product is built with J2SE and is using J2EE techniques (except EJB)
  • Replaceable components (user management, caching, connection pool etc) - since many companies already have an existing technical solution for these components, XCAP is able to adapt/wrap these components and use them as well
  • Easy integration - XCAP is able to co-exist with existing solutions without interfering with them
