Re: XML and the AS/400

["Phil Hall" <hallp@xxxxxxxx>]

: Answer:
: There is a jar file in the IFS that has the IBM XML parser called
: XML4J.

Just to clear this point up, for those who don't yet know what a jar
file is, the .jar file is for the Java version of the XML DOM parser

: As far as I know that's it.  Out on the alphaworks site there is
: source for a C++ XML parser but I haven't tried to compile it on the
AS/400.

Again, you have to request the beta OS/400 C++ DOM parser direct from
IBM


: As far as writing XML there is nothing to it.  Just open a stream
file and
: write some homegrown XML to it.  Its up to the consumer to parse it
and do
: something.

But don't trivialize this too much - data coming back from the
consumer will need to be parsed by you, so you'll also have to write
you own 'homegrown' XML parser, if you choose not to use a Java or C++
DOM parser.
