Among the practical benefits are: <BR> <BR> Structure -- to model data to any level of <BR> complexity <BR> Extensibility -- to define new tags as needed <BR> Validation -- to check data for structural <BR> correctness <BR> Media independence -- to publish content in <BR> multiple formats <BR> Vendor and platform independence -- to process any <BR> conforming document using standard commercial <BR> software or even simple text tools. <BR> <BR> <BR>XML lets developers define their own tags to describe <BR>data. In this example, we've defined tags that describe <BR>information about a book and its cost. <BR> <BR> <BR>A JavaTM Technology Standard Extension for <BR>XML Technology <BR> <BR>Sun is supporting XML technology through the Java <BR>platform and is leading the effort to define a Java <BR>technology standard extension for XML. It will be <BR>developed through industry participation in the Java <BR>Community Process, ensuring stability and <BR>compatibility. Enterprises can rely on the XML standard <BR>extension to for high-quality integration with the Java <BR>platform. <BR> <BR>The first step is to provide <BR>an XML standard extension that <BR>delivers basic functionality <BR>to read, manipulate, and <BR>generate XML text. These core <BR>features will form the <BR>building blocks for developing <BR>fully functional, XML <BR>technology-based applications. <BR> <BR>The XML standard extension <BR>will consist of a specification, reference <BR>implementation, and a compatibility test suite. <BR>Following Sun's commitment to the open process and <BR>industry standards, the XML standard extension will <BR>conform to the XML 1.0 specification and will leverage <BR>existing efforts around Java platform APIs for XML <BR>technology, including the W3C DOM Level 1 Core <BR>Recommendation and the SAX 1.0 API. <BR> <BR>According to Anne Thomas, senior consultant at Patricia <BR>Seybold Group in Boston, MA, the standard extension is <BR>quite a step forward: "The Java platform standard <BR>extension for XML will provide standard classes to <BR>generate and manipulate XML, and as a standard <BR>extension, these classes will be available on just <BR>about every Java platform. Developers won't need to <BR>build these classes themselves, and XML documents won't <BR>be as bulky as they might be because we won't need to <BR>include these classes in the application code. The <BR>classes will already be resident on the target system." <BR> <BR>Enterprise Platform Support <BR> <BR>XML technology will also be used in several key areas <BR>in Sun's enterprise Java platform evolution. "XML is <BR>fundamental to our plans for the next generation <BR>enterprise-computing platform, Java 2 Platform <BR>Enterprise Edition," said Bill Roth, product line <BR>manager for Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition. "We are <BR>using it to make Enterprise JavaBeansTM components even <BR>more portable. We also intend to make it a standard for <BR>the transmission of mission-critical enterprise data." <BR> <BR>Sun has announced that it is adding a standard <BR>extension based on XML technology to the next release <BR>of the Enterprise JavaBeans architecture in response to <BR>customer requests to increase the portability of <BR>enterprise beans components. The specifications for <BR>this release will be available for public review some <BR>time in the second quarter of next year. <BR> <BR>Perfect Couple: XML and Java Technologies <BR> <BR>XML technology is expected to <BR>revolutionize network-oriented <BR>applications, especially in <BR>the area of data interchange. <BR>Together, Java and XML <BR>technologies are enabling a <BR>new generation of Web <BR>applications in areas such as <BR>e-commerce and enterprise <BR>applications integration. <BR> <BR>By now, virtually all of the major players in Internet <BR>technologies have made commitments to XML technology. <BR>In addition to Sun, companies like IBM, Oracle, <BR>Fujitsu, Novell, Webmethods, Ariba, Bluestone, <BR>CommerceOne, Vervet, NetPost, and many others are <BR>building technologies and products that use XML and <BR>Java technologies together. <BR> <BR>At Sun, perhaps the biggest champion of this new <BR>technology is Jon Bosak, who is also chair of the W3C <BR>XML Coordination Group, and generally regarded as the <BR>father of XML. "XML and Java technologies are the yin <BR>and yang of vendor-neutral programming," says Bosak. <BR>"Put them together and you have a complete, <BR>platform-independent, Web-based computing environment." <BR> <BR>"Smart Data" <BR> <BR>"Combining Java and XML <BR>technologies produces portable <BR>`smart' data," explains Anne <BR>Thomas of the Patricia Seybold <BR>Group. "XML supplies a <BR>universally portable <BR>structured data format, and <BR>Java technology supplies <BR>
