JAXB takes XML to Java
by David Morris
Until recently, there was no standard way to convert XML content to Java objects. The recently released Java Architecture for XML Binding (JAXB) specification changes that by providing a standard API to map XML documents to Java objects. The JAXB 1.0 specification went through the Java Community Process as a Java Specification Request (JSR) and reached final release status on March 3. It provides a standard and efficient way of mapping between XML and Java objects. READ MORE >

Scribble on SQL's Scratchpad
by Michael Sansoterra
User-defined functions, or UDFs, allow developers to extend SQL for specific needs, so there is virtually no database task for which SQL isn't suitable. I can hear the skeptic shouting, "I can think of plenty of things SQL doesn't do very well, or at all." Well, you wouldn't be alone. There are many of you out there sailing along in the boat of skeptics, but take a look at what I have to offer before you sail by the port of SQL opportunity. READ MORE >

Calling Java from RPG: A Refresher
by Kevin Vandever
In the last issue I discussed some advanced features of the Java Virtual Machine related to calling Java methods from RPG. I talked about how to control creating and destroying the JVM, and why you might want to do so. I then told you that I would take you further into the world of the RPG-to-Java interface; however, I've received a number of e-mails asking how to call home-grown Java applications, so I thought I would take a moment, or an article, to walk through the steps of calling a home-grown Java application from RPG.
