(Tomislav Stare) This article presents one way you could build an XML Template Engine that processes or parses XML templates and generates code. The engine can be used as an alternative to XML/XSLT template engines available out there. Compared to them, the template transformation or code generation

(Elliotte Rusty Harold) The wheels of progress turn slowly, but turn they do. The crystal ball might be a little hazy, but the outline of XML’s future is becoming clear. The exact time line is a tad uncertain, but where XML is going isn’t. XML’s future lies with the Web, and more specifically with W

(Rick Jelliffe) One simplification I have made in the XSLT code presented so far is that except for datatypes I have elided the issue of diagnostics. Yet the ability to provide better diagnostics is one of the value propositions for Schematron. So lets quickly add in some diagnostics!

In the previous chapters we have explained how XSLT can be used to transform a document from XML to XHTML. We did this by adding an XSL style sheet to the XML file and let the browser do the transformation.

(Michael M. David) Having worked with hierarchical then relational and now hierarchical structures again with XML, I have been waiting for hierarchical database processing to progress at least to the point it was before. From this experience, I believe that XML’s use in database processing has faile

(James Leigh) Easily customizable and configurable software is becoming increasingly important, and a flexible interface for searching is one way in which software is becoming more configurable. The key to achieving flexibility is through using metadata. This discussion will take a look at how you c

(Jacob D. Eisinger and Vince C. Brunssen) XMLBeans is a great XML-to-Java data-binding technology, but it lacks the ability to register observers for model changes. However, you can customize generated plain old Java objects (POJOs) to include the necessary interfaces and the notification of changes

(Mike Clark) The ASP.Net data bound DataList and Repeater controls give us the ability to create flexible HTML layouts for tabular and XML hierarchal data. However, when you throw in a need for conditional logic or some string formatting or perhaps the need to edit/update the data, things get compli

(Rick Jelliffe) This article is part of a series describing how to convert from W3C XML Schemas to ISO Schematron. They are very different schema languages! This time we look at some code with quite complex XPaths: we want to validate that the element that follows another element in a document is on

(Jennifer Kyrnin) There are many advanced functions of XPath to allow you to manipulate your XSLT. These functions help you reduce the amount of programming you need to do after transforming the data. These functions will help you create ecommerce documents and manipulate the data.
