whitepaper Generate Web Services for DB2 9 pureXML: A Proof of Concept Technique to Generate Bottom-Up Web Services for XML Data2007-06-14 IBM
  Web services are important building blocks to achieve a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). As more and more applications move towards an SOA, often there is a need to expose application functionality as Web services. This paper shows how one can easily generate Web services using a simple Java class to insert and retrieve XML data, into, and from DB2 9 using the pureXML feature. Once the Web services are generated and deployed on the WebSphere Application Server, one can test them using either the built-in Web services Explorer of Rational Application Developer (RAD) or XForms as a Web services client. The same services can be used by any Web services client that can make SOAP over HTTP Web service calls.

whitepaper Using Industry Standard Data Formats With WebSphere ESB and DB2 Version 9 pureXML2007-06-13 IBM
  Many industries strive for a higher degree of standardization for facilitating interaction and data exchange between companies, as well as with their external business partners. To achieve this, industries have developed standards specific to their businesses that enable consistency of information across all parties, and ensure compliance with any applicable regulatory laws. For example, industry standard data formats include ACORD for insurance, FpML for financial derivatives, FIXML for financial trading, MISMO for mortgages, and GJXDM (and others) for federal government applications. The pharmaceutical industry is also engaged in several standardization efforts, one of which is the Health Level 7 (HL7) standard. HL7 targets several areas and scenarios, all represented as separate artifacts within the overall effort.

whitepaper Preserving XML Queries During Schema Evolution: A Guide to Writing Queries That Behave Well Across XML Schema Changes2007-06-05 IBM
  As XML gains widespread use as an information exchange standard, the ability to persist, validate, and query XML documents becomes increasingly important. Moreover, with the proliferation of Web services and mash-ups, Web application developers increasingly need to query and transform XML messages, where such messages come directly from a Web service or indirectly from a database in which they are persisted. Most commercial database management systems already support XML persistence in some form. For example, IBM's DB2 pureXML provides support for storing XML documents natively in XML typed columns, validating XML documents against XML schemas, and querying XML documents using XQuery and SQL/XML query languages.

whitepaper White paper: IBM pureXML for SOA: Unlocking the business value of information2007-06-01 IBM
  As companies adapt to the realities of globalization, they face unprecedented commoditization and competition. To remain competitive, organizations must adapt more rapidly than ever before--which means that they must align their IT environments with their business goals and deliver information on demand, when and where it is needed.

whitepaper Easy Integration: From XML to the Datastore Without the Mess2007-06-01 Oracle
  XML has become the world's de facto data exchange format, and Ruby on Rails is a full participant in that framework. Using a combination of the XML::Mapping Ruby gem and the ActiveRecord component of Rails (without all the other heavy components), one can parse an XML document, map it to an object, manipulate the object, and persist it to an Oracle database backend with less code than one could imagine. As an added bonus, one has the full power and flexibility of the legendary ActiveRecord at one's service from the Rails stack. There are a couple of options in the Ruby world for marshalling and unmarshalling data from XML to objects and back.

whitepaper Get Started With Industry Formats and Services With pureXML: A Fastpath to Storing Your Industry XML Content in DB22007-05-24 IBM
  The industry bundles for pureXML, published on alphaWorks, illustrate access to content stored on IBM DB2 in XML, through small script or Java-based applications. They are focused on populating, validating, and querying XML content that is pertinent to a specific industry. A pureXML industry bundle is typically a downloadable zip file that contains sample XML messages (XML instance documents), and scripts or Java code that populates one or more DB2 pureXML tables with the XML messages. The scripts also issue validation and query requests on the XML messages, and transform portions of the XML messages into relational tables.

whitepaper Introducing XQJ: A Java API for XQuery2007-05-22 Jupitermedia
  Query is a declarative language for querying XML that's similar to SQL for querying relational data. Most Java developers are familiar with JDBC, which provides a standard Java API to interact with a variety of SQL engines operating against relational data sources. XQJ has the same goal: It provides Java developers with a standard Java API for interacting with a variety of XQuery engines operating on XML data sources. XQJ is also referred to as JSR 225 because it is designed through the Java Community Process (JCP). The JSR 225 specification defines a set of interfaces and classes that enable Java applications to submit XQuery queries against one or more XML data sources to an XQuery engine and consume the results.

whitepaper MSDN Webcast: Windows Presentation Foundation Animations (Level 200)2007-05-11 Microsoft Tips
  The presenter of this webcast explains how to create animations using Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) technology. Animations in WPF can be implemented through styles, templates, WPF animations, and manual animations. The presenter reviews each of these options, but also describes WPF animations in detail. They take the attendee through a series of step-by-step demonstrations that illustrate what properties to set and what methods to use for controlling an animation. The presenter also compares the respective syntaxes for implementing animations using both Microsoft Visual C# and eXtensible Application Markup Language (XAML), and explains when using one development language is preferable to the other.

whitepaper Creating and Parsing XML Documents in JDeveloper2007-05-08 Jupitermedia
  Oracle's XDK 10G extends JAXP to make reading, writing, and querying XML easy. One of the first programming exercises for beginning XML developers is to create and parse an XML document. The Java API for XML Parsing (JAXP) includes an API for doing this. Oracle XDK 10g extends the base JAXP capabilities by providing an API in the oracle.xml.parsers.v2 package that overrides some of the classes in the JAXP API and also implements some additional interfaces such as DocumentEditVAL, ElementEditVAL, and NSResolver, which add dynamic validation and aid in using XPath. XDK also provides parser factory and parser classes in the oracle.xml.jaxp package which override the parser classes in the javax.xml.parsers package. This paper shows how to create and parse an XML document using JDeveloper.
