We've been working on getting another Toolkit release done. Unfortuantely, we discovered an issue in the June CTP of Atlas that caused some problems. You could ask "why didn't you catch this before the June CTP went out?" To which I would reply "that's a very good question." There's actually two answers (and two issues): one we didn't catch because we were missing a test case, but the other is more interesting. One of the things that is nice to do is to be able to bind to properties values. In a repeater, it would be nice to say: myExtender> myExtenderProperties TargetControlID="Label1" Value="%# Eval("ID") %>"/> /myExtender> But unfortunately that dosen't work because you can only databind to Controls....usually. So we tested the...(read more)

... /Very/ nice hack. It's a spectacular device for modifying an XML data set. You've created a terrific interface for handling structures and manipulating the

With the support of natively storing XML documents, IBM DB2 9 takes an evolutionary step towards a hybrid database system. XQuery, a new primary language in DB2, allows for optimally working with XML. However, XML also often contains large portions of text that are not easily searchable with XQuery. To efficiently search these unstructured parts of the documents, DB2 provides a full-text search solution. This article focuses on the basics of DB2 text search, including text index creation and administration. This article also explores specific features of DB2 full-text search, such as searching for keywords or phrases in the XML document structure with fuzzy search, proximity search, and stemming.

One of the advantages of building business processes in WebSphere Integration Developer and WebSphere Process Server is the representation of customer data as business objects. The XML representation of these objects is difficult to obtain if the customer wishes to perform advanced XML manipulation, or merely inspect the XML source. In this article you'll see how to use the business object package APIs for serialization and deserialization tasks, with examples and sample custom visual snippet code.

Microformats are a new way to embed structured data within standard XHTML code. Discover how to read and write the new microformats for the Web.

Most developers have to learn a different playbook when they deal with XML and they're used to database technologies. XML's transparency requires a lot of care when you expose XML to applications on a network. Carelessness in this regard can lead to security breaches. Learn about the security implications of XML's transparency and how to avoid the vulnerabilities.

Take a look at enhancements for developers in DB2 9. These enhancements include a new Developer Workbench, deeper integration with .NET environments, rich support for XML and SOA environments, new drivers and adapters for PHP and Ruby on Rails, and new application samples.

DB2 9 pureXML provides native XML storage and retrieval. In addition, DB2 9 provides a new security protection mechanism called Label Based Access Control (LBAC). Combining these two features can produce a Native XML data store that can protect XML documents at the document level by labeling each document row with an LBAC security label, and assigning users their appropriate access level.

In this tip, discover several possible ways you can use the xsl:message element to assist with understanding and debugging Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT) stylesheets.

Learn to build business graphs using XML, PHP and Adobe's Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) standard. The SVG standard gives your graphics infinite vector scalability, visual effects, and even scripted interactivity.

This tutorial, the fourth in the series, describes how to create a touchpoint that maps instrumented notifications into their touchpoint equivalent. The previous tutorial in this series described how to implement simple GET and SET operations in the touchpoint. This tutorial completes the picture by adding notification handling and paves the way for more complete interaction between your touchpoints and the underlying managed resources. You also learn how to programmatically manipulate a set of touchpoints which lays the foundation for creating a simple autonomic manager.

Learn how to use the newly acquired IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances to enable the WebSphere Extended Deployment On Demand Router (ODR) to classify requests based on XML.
