Hi Meera,
XMLC is the XML Compiler and architecture defined by Enhydra.org. I think
that the easiest way to compare JSP to XMLC would be too take a look at the
open-source organization that created it. The website is
"www.enhydra.org". The Open Source Enhydra Java Application Server is also
included with Redhat Linux 6.1 if you own that. I really like it so far
and can't decide whether I like JSP more or less than XMLC, but they will
be supporting both soon so I guess I can use either one depending on the
architecture that I am trying to implement. Anyways, take a look at the
Enhydra Organization website and it should explain XMLC there.
