The web service looked at yesterday returns a Shakespeare speech in XML format based on the search string that is sent via Groovy from a Swing form created in Matisse. Groovy isn't only useful in interacting with the web service—parsing the returned XML is also a trivial activity with Groovy

There is an interesting war being fought in the blogosphere over the use (or overuse) of ESB (enterprise service buses) to build out a SOA (service oriented architecture). But everyone is talking in abstractions, and no one's really giving anyone a good idea of when to use an ESB or when to avoid them. No one seems to be looking at why people are or aren't using ESBs and getting to the root of the question - when are they appropriate for use in a SOA and when are they simply being implemented for the sake of being implemented?

There is no way to use E4X as powerful as it is to sort an XML by a particular attribute. It's a shame, but here is a simple function that leverages the sorting power of Arrays.

The Python core libraries include six different methods for parsing and creating XML, none of which feel particularly Pythonic (here I am, three weeks into developing with Python and already I’m calling out core libraries as not being Python-y enough). I missed the low overhead methods I had used in other languages. Particularly for parsing XML, PHP’s simplexml is hard to beat, and for building, it’s hands-down Ruby’s XML Builder. Off I went, hunting for Python ports.

The first alpha of JBoss Cache 3.0.0 - codenamed Naga, (after the Naga Jolokia pepper) - is out. It has a new Multi-Version Concurrency Control (MVCC) locking scheme that is completely lock-free for readers, which makes it very efficient for a read-mostly system like a cache. The entire configuration has also been refactored to be more readable, concise and consistent.

It’s surprising how universal XML has become. It doesn’t seem to matter what the problem, XML is the solution. For example, consider a simple client/server architecture where the communication protocol must transmit some sort of structured data. Nine developers out of ten will form the basis of the protocol around XML. If it’s a lot of data to be transferred, then they will compress the XML using Java’s stream compression libraries. If there’s binary data to be transmitted, it will either be stored as CDATA within the XML or as files within the same compressed archive. Very few developers will actually stop and consider alternative solutions.

I was once a believer in XML. Until I started working with it, that is. Now my enthusiasm has faded away - replaced by - well - bitterness or something like that.

XML and Java have the same sort of flavor to them: they’re reasonably good and very widely used; they’re the sort of product that design committees everywhere aspire to create. Their flaws only really become visible after something better comes along. In Java’s case, Python demonstrated that a whole lot of the structure and required text that gives Java code its rigidity can be stripped away, leaving a language that’s a joy to develop in. However, there hasn’t been an analogous improvement on XML.

Google (or at least some part of it) has now weighed in on the whole XML discussion with the recent release of their "Protocol Buffers" implementation, and, quite naturally, the debates have begun, with all the carefully-weighed logic, respectful discourse, and reasoned analysis that we've come to expect and enjoy from this industry. Yeah, right.

The proliferation of XML for data interchange and configuration file format have resulted in numerous open-source Java XML Parser libraries (left image). Indeed, Java includes its own full-fledged XML library obviating the need to download additional XML library. However, the in-built and majority of open-source Java XML Parsers tend to suffer from few considerable issues like complexity and bloated size, and this tend to be normal rather than exceptional.

Originally I asked the following question in my last posting: I have an XML document and I want to use that document to populate a corresponding set of Java objects. This is a commonly encountered scenario when working with Java, so what is the easiest method for Java XML Binding that requires the least amount of code? So what about XStream?

You'll also cover database-like solutions that involve contacts and invoices. The schemas in this article were chosen for their usefulness and utility, plus their impact on the XML community in how information is shared and exchanged using the XML format.
