>Doesn't the XML4PR have XML functions that are used to generate the tags for the root, elements, etc. that make it easier to generate XML ? Or, must one know exactly how to build the tags/content ? Yes, the XML4PR400 does have tools for you to use to do that, but I have found it much easier to use CGIDEV2. The only reason I would use an actual XML serializer would be if I needed to apply a schema to make sure all my enumerations were valid - for example. (an example of enumerations would be valid values for attributes from the business logic side of things).

Is the CGIDEV2 API that you use to write it the wrtHtmlToStmf ?

(TC) [mailto:ALBartell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 2004 3:18 PM To: RPGNext Discussion and Information Subject: RE: [RPGNext] HTML/XML I have adopted CGIDEV2 as my "xml serializer". The only time you need to use an actual XML Serializer like XML4PR400 is if you want to validate against a schema or make sure you are pumping out valid XML. Basically what I do is I prototype the XML in the IFS with CGIDEV2's "dynamic variables" and then have my RPG programs use the CGIDEV2 API's to fill out the XML, write it to and IFS file, and then use Scott Klements HTTP API to send it on its way. If you want to parse XML, that is where you will definitely want to use something like XML4PR400. I am working on my second XML parser, named XMLSAX, that I will be releasing to the community in the near future. I have a few people testing it out right now (Joel being one of them) to see if the feature set is rich enough. Go to http://mowyourlawn.com and sign up for the beta testing of XMLSAX if you so please.

I understand that I will need to generate the XML content. The question is....how ? Is the XML4PR still available ? Can I find it on my iSeries ? Or, am I required to buy the XML Toolkit from IBM ? Can I find some examples of generating XML with RPG somewhere ? -----Original Message----- From: Joel Cochran [mailto:jrc@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 2004 10:39 AM To: RPGNext Discussion and Information Subject: Re: [RPGNext] HTML/XML You can use a serializer to write the XML, but I use the IFS APIs to simply create a xml file in the IFS.
