Re: Java and XML

The project requirements really dictate what is the best path to take.

If you just need to accept data into a database table, you can certainly do
it with Java.  However, there are plenty of methods for doing that, each
with its own costs and benefits.

Perhaps if we heard a bit more about the project and it's requirements, we
could all provide you a good suggestion.

I am delving into the world of Java at this point mainly for it's good
relationship with XML. I don't know however if this the best way on the
iSeries though. I know there are parsing APIs that can be used from
within RPG and there are XML DB2 Extenders that we can buy and learn how
to use too. In your opinion(s), should I use one of those 2 or should I
go about this the way I think I should, with pure Java running on the
iSeries? As I'm sure the scenario is the same with a lot of you, we are
being asked by many of our partners to start transmitting/receiving data
in XML format. I've already butchered through one project using RPG
where I build and parse, but as you can imagine that was not much fun. I
have 3 more projects for similar requests and I would like to go about
the right way.
