But you don't need to be a highly skilled Java XML developer to make use of it. WebSphere Development Studio Client (WDSC) for iSeries Version 5 (both the Standard and Advanced editions) offers several options to create Web database and XML applications, including a number of helpful wizards. Although WDSC doesn't build complete, custom XML applications for you, the XML tools go along way to saving time on developing XML applications. It DOES save time by generating a few simple XML applications and many components that you can use and customize relatively easily in your finished application. >> CLICK here to view the complete tip: http://www.search400.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci905724,00.html =============================================================== Answers to Other Technical Questions =============================================================== XML AN INCREASINGLY VALUABLE SKILL, EXPERTS SAY Understanding XML is becoming an increasingly valuable asset for all IT professionals, especially systems and network managers. http://search400.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci848404,00.html WEB-ENABLING LEGACY SYSTEM USING XML A Search400.com member was having difficulty using XML to Web-enable a legacy system.
