We have developed a 'UVAPI' which is basically a java (utilizing UOJ) app sitting on Tomcat. Rather than pass the entire XML doc to Universe, the Java interrogates the document and passes dynamic arrays to subroutines for further processing.
Of course, one of the reasons we do this is that we were on uv9.4. But even after an upgrade, I'm not sure I would change much. But it also depends on how you are receiving your XML docs. If they are being ftp'd directly to your U2 server, then BASIC would be a more attractive option. If they are coming from the outside world, having the java app receive the files allows them to be verified against a schema/dtd before putting the U2 server to work. It also allows a response to be generated if receiving via http. So, yes. We are using XML to integrate with U2. But we are not using U2 to process inbound XML or build outbound XML. Instead we have a middle tier doing all that. That doesn't mean it's the best way..... Just my way :-) Mark. -----Original Message----- From: Bob Witney [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 14, 2004 9:45 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [U2] U2 & XML Hiya: I send an email last week asking for help on an xml to U2 problem we have. Since not a lot of response came back we are now wondering if any of you are using xml to interface into U2 We are beginning to feel like pathfinders Yeas or nays appreciated Bob ------- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
