Allora for Java 1.5. (Tools).Developer Solutions Int. have a new version of Allora, HiT Software's XML XML in full Extensible Markup Language. Markup language developed to be a simplified and more structural version of SGML. It incorporates features of HTML (e.g., hypertext linking), but is designed to overcome some of HTML's limitations. platform for Data Exchange, which provides data binding interfaces and message queue A storage space in memory or on disk that holds incoming transmissions until the computer can process them. See messaging middleware. support in addition to existing JAXP JAXP Java API for XML Processing (Sun Microsystems) JAXP Java API for XML Parsing , DOM, and SAX interfaces. Allora is available in Java and native Windows versions. Comment: Whilst XML is a powerful tool for data exchange, implementations have been difficult before because of the DOMISAX learning curve for database application developers. Data binding gives database application developers a more familiar way to work with XML and its wide range of options make it suitable for developers who want to use XML with relational databases." Features include: * Allora 1.5 XML interfaces include access to XML document data as individual records or record sets. Previously, standard interfaces between XML and databases have been limited to DOM or SAX, neither of which support the well-understood model of iterative record/recordset access. * Allora for Java 1.5 allows developers to bind relational data or XML documents to java classes and use methods to retrieve and update data in relational databases. Allora data binding also integrates with Java Message Service (programming, messaging) Java Message Service - (JMS) An API for accessing enterprise messaging systems from Java programs. Java Message Service, part of the J2EE suite, provides standard APIs that Java developers can use to access the common features of enterprise message systems. (JMS (Java Messaging Service) A programming interface (API) from Sun for connecting Java programs to messaging middleware such as IBM's MQSeries and TIBCO's Rendezvous. JMS is part of Sun's J2EE platform. See J2EE. JMS - Java Message Service ) providers to support asynchronous Refers to events that are not synchronized, or coordinated, in time. The following are considered asynchronous operations. The interval between transmitting A and B is not the same as between B and C. The ability to initiate a transmission at either end. applications. * Allora data binding provides methods to marshal relational data to an XML document or to unmarshal the contents of an XML document to a relational database. This allows IT organisations to put XML data on their enterprise networks and thereby maximise internal exchange of data. New message queue support allows developers to both direct RDB-sourced XML documents to message queues as well as extract XML documents from queues and then incorporate this data within relational databases. www.developer-solutions.co.uk |
