Justin, I don't know much about UPS' XML exchange formats, but they are a member of Rosetta net. That is a group of companies that built some exchange standards. I would not be surprised if SOAP is part of the equation. From what I have seen of Rosetta's standards, they use something called a Partner Interface Process (PIP), which documents the format of information exchanged between member companies. You might check out www.rosetta.org. Walden mentioned SOAP, overall, SOAP is just defines a way of calling a program on another system using a transport like HTTP, or SMTP. SOAP defines the parameters and program to call. A good bet for SOAP on the iSeries is the Apache Axis project. I have not used Axis on the iSeries, but I have used its predecessor Apache SOAP. I do have a project planned that will likely use Axis, so I will know whether it will work on the iSeries in a few weeks. As far as creating XML documents goes, you can use the IFS file APIs or some sort of XML parser. The iSeries-toolkit contains a UNIX module that makes using those APIs pretty easy. I like JDOM the best for parsing in Java and can give you an example if you get that far.
