Hello All,
With the emergence of XML as the next great thing I know that Java and XML
together compliment each other very well.
So far the advantages that I can see are in the parsers that can be produced
in Java and ported platform independently to clients. But I'm a little
confused as to how Servlets will fit into the grand scheme or do they? XML
seems to rely on the Document Object Model for the client. Can the DOM be
manipulated with a Servlet?
The way that I think of XML is in a three tier architecture where there is
a:
1)database/mainframe (back-end)
2)Some kind of server that runs the XML parser and serves the web server
(middle teir)
3)Browser (client)
Could a servlet process a request from the client which accesses the info
requested from the database/mainframe then grab an already parsed XML
Document that contains the info then post that info to the user?
This might be a little off topic, but I thought I would post this to see if
anyone else had any thoughts as to how Servlets can compliment XML as well
as Java Apps.
