Re: Processing a received XML document - support for XSD?

Found this:
http://www.itjungle.com/tfh/tfh060506-story06.html

"The XML Toolkit requires i5/OS V5R4 and runs only on System i5
hardware. This server restriction seems hard to believe, and if you
want to run it on an older iSeries box that supports i5/OS, it seems
hard to believe that IBM is not allowing this. The XML Toolkit goes by
the IBM product number 5733-XT2 and costs $250."

The i5 requirement is troubling as none of the boxes I want to use it
on are POWER5. I've got a 825 (POWER4) and a 810 (SSTAR).

Does anybody know if the v5r3 product, XML Toolkit for iSeries
(5733XT1), is supported on the older boxes running v5r4?

Thanks!
Charles Wilt

Hi Thomas,

The XML toolkit from IBM is provided free of cost.

The ionly problem is understanding the examples provided by IBM, they are
worth ... (not a lot).

Kind regards,

Loek.

Charles,

In case no one else contributes a better idea you may consider to use a
little Java application to
validate your xml file. "AppServer4RPG" might be a good starting point as
it demonstrates how to talk
to Java from RPG efficiently.

You can get it here:

http://www.bender-dv.de/ (German page hosted by Dieter Bender)

On the main page click on "AppServer4RPG" and download the zip file. The
zip file contains an English
"Howto.html" which explains how to set up the server.

For example you could pass the path name of your XML file to a little Java
application that validtaed
the XML file and returns the result back to the RPG application.

Another option you have is to install the "XML Toolkit for IBM System i5"
(5733-XT2) and use the
included parsers (SAX and DOM parser). For sure that should cost some
money and is not easy to use
because of lots of pointer stuff. Just my two cents.

Regards,

Thomas.

All,

I'm going to be receiving an XML document that I'll need to process.

I had originally intended to make use of Scott port of Expat to parse
the document.

However, apparently Expat doesn't support validating the document
against an XML Schema Document (XSD). Given that we're creating the
XSD, and a third party is supposed to be following it, having the XML
processor validate against the XSD instead of doing my own validation
in RPG would seem like a useful feature.

Is there anything on the i that I can use to validate and process the
XML?

Thanks,
Charles Wilt
