The whole idea behind Radicore is that it is a toolkit for building administrative web applications which have limited and controlled access, not general purpose web sites which are open to anybody.
It is possible to have an 'open' web site which accesses a database which is administered by a 'closed' application which has been built by Radicore. This means having a separate set of components which use a completely different presentation layer, but which share the business and data access layers within the Radicore application. Several people have commented that XSL transformations are not very efficient for high usage web sites, and you may also experience problems with trying to pass HTML as content within an XML document. By using different software for the presentation layer you will bypass any such issues. You can then implement whatever security features you desire, and construct HTML screens without being limited to what XML and XSL can do.
I have used this approach on two different applications - using Radicore to build the 'back office' software, but using non-Radicore software for the 'front office' (i.e. open to anyone) part.
Instead of trying to bend Radicore to do something for which it was not designed it is far better to bypass it completely. If you try to bend Radicore you will run the risk of breaking it.
