Both SAX and Digester seem to be rather complicated compared to the PHP / Ajax method. With PHP I can overcome the cross-domain policy issue by creating a proxy copy of the XML document I am trying to access. Then with XPath or SimpleXML is just map the XML document to some form fields in the HTML. That's all I'm needing to do...allow a user to enter in a license number on one page, then have the application lookup the license number on a remote server that returns VERY basic XML, then map the results to form fields in my application. The idea is to make form completion very easy for the end-user because we can use their public information to fill out half of the form for them.
Also, although I am new to Web Objects, I've been programming for a few years in .NET (VB & C#) and scripting for about 10 years in PHP/HTML/Javascript. Unfortunately, even though concepts are similar, the actual implementation of some of the code in Web Objects references is still new to me. I may need a little more explanation on some things before I fully understand. Thanks again, Ken On Aug 20, 2010, at 11:20 PM, Joe Kramer wrote: > +1 for Digester.
