The sentence in my second paragraph that says: "I would say if the
mapping is simple (one table, for instance) then writing the mappings your
self would be too hard to do." should have said that it would NOT be too
hard to do.
Always check your work, huh? ;)

It seems like the process is fairly simple, then. Like you said, there are
tons of tools to do this.
Personally, I normally tend towards writing something myself before buying
something, but that is not always the best course. I would say if the
mapping is simple (one table, for instance) then writing the mappings your
self would be too hard to do. If the mapping includes parent-child
relationships for the data, then the document parsing and creation starts
to get complex real quick.
There is a free generic framework for doing XML to SQL type mappings (among
other things) called Castor (http://www.castor.org). I've never used it,
so I can't really comment much on it other to say that it looks flexible,
and not entirely straight forward. I have tried IBM's DB2 XML Extenders,
and I wasn't too impressed. I can't remember the product's issues
perfectly, but there was some kind of size limitation of XML documents that
caused me trouble when trying to parse documents larger than 1 meg. Maybe
that won't be an issue for you, though.

Pretty much same theme throughout all the projects. Send out XML files,
usually constructed off of data from our DB2 files, get the response via
XML, parse it and then update the DB2 files.

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.
