Don't know if this is helpful (it's not what you asked) but I had a project that needed to tie together a SIF source and a database and some other things. This was several years ago. SIF was a mess, datawise, and we concluded pretty quickly that the thing to do was to set up (like, daily) syncing between the (Oracle) database and the SIF data we needed. Everything not already going directly to SIF would use the database. I believe that we expected little or no writing back to the SIF source in this setup.

There wasn't a SIF spec at that time and it probably didn't matter because the data reached back a number of years (I believe SIF emerged from a vendor implementation that was originally proprietary and, shall we say, ad hoc). The project never got built.

I am looking into linking an existing WO Application into a SIF Zone Integration Server. If someone has been down that path, they could make my life easier. If not, I will probably start asking some more specific questions in the near future.

Has anyone used SIF, http://www.sifinfo.org, in a WebObjects project?


No, but I have worked with this http://www.acord.org/Pages/ default.aspx which seems at least superficially similar. The Design by Committee aspect can yield a schema that is, er, hard to penetrate. I made some scripts and XSLT to transform the XML into an EOModel. It did not clarify anything, but then you are working with EOF and not XML.

Was that the sort of thing you wanted to know?
