(Andre Tost) When not writing a column for the IBM WebSphere Developer Technical Journal, I spend much of my time with architects and developers talking about the issues they face when designing and building solutions based on Web services and SOA. There are a number of issues, questions, and topics

(Dustin Metzgar) One of the questions frequently asked on the forums here on Code Project is how does one add elements to an XML file. At first read, this seems like a trivial task, but it’s really not. The quickest way to do it is to open the XML file in an XmlDocument object, add the rows, and cal

(Edmond Woychowsky) Nebulous is a great word, not only is it fun to say, it is also useful in describing the requirements for a project that I worked on recently. The requirements went something like this; take a flat file, that was produced by an upstream mainframe application and produce an XML do

(Sukriti Goel and Parameswaran Seshan) In this second installment in a two-part series about Web service integration patterns, explore how to integrate the solicit-response and notification Web service client endpoint patterns with an application. In solicit-response and notification patterns, the a

(Nicholas Chase) As Web services grow in popularity, enterprising Web and application developers create new and innovative applications with their data. In addition to single-service applications, developers are creating mashups, applications that combine data from multiple services to create someth

(Kurt Cagle) This particular series has been ongoing since late last year – not quite a book, though a very healthy chapter towards one, fortunately. When I started it, I was hoping to learn a little bit myself about XForms, as teaching a new technology is, at least for me, one of the best ways I ca

(vonwao) There have been times when I’ve needed to parse an XML file and configure some objects. XmlReader is very flexible, but too low level for the simple task at hand. The built-in serialization is a tempting option also, but not flexible enough and too intrusive. DOM is too memory intensive

(Tom Coppedge) This is the second part of a three-part tutorial series that describes a method for automating updates to a library of XML files so that they all conform to an updated XML schema. Here, in Part 2, you learn to install, configure, and run Ant and Java SE to iteratively transform each o

(David Mertz) In this two-part series on XML editors, the author looks at the progress of commercial tools in the year-and-a-half since he last looked at this tools category. These tools have progressed from largely cosmetic wrappers around text editors to fleshed-out development environments that s

(Sanjit Sil) XML Web Services provide a simple technique for accessing a method on an object that is running on a local or remote computer. Web Services can be accessed by an application written in any language and running on any operating system. They utilize HTTP as the underlying transport, whi
