Summary
"This volume offers relentlessly pragmatic solutions to help your business applications get the most out of XML, with a breezy style that makes the going easy. Mike has lived this stuff; he has a strong command of the solutions and the philosophy that underlies them."
--Eve Maler, XML Standards Architect, Sun MicrosystemsBusinesses running legacy applications that do not support XML can face a tough choice: Either keep their legacy applications or switch to newer, XML-enhanced applications. XML presents both challenges and opportunities for organizations as they struggle with their data.
Does this dilemma sound familiar? What if you could enable a legacy application to support XML? You can. In Using XML with Legacy Business Applications, e-commerce expert Michael C. Rawlins outlines usable techniques for solving day-to-day XML-related data exchange problems. Using an easy-to-understand cookbook approach, Rawlins shows you how to build XML support into legacy business applications using Java and C++. The techniques are illustrated by building converters for legacy formats. Converting CSV files, flat files, and X12 EDI to and from XML will never be easier!
Inside you'll find:
- A concise tutorial for learning to read W3C XML schemas
- An introduction to using XSLT to transform between different XML formats
- Simple, pragmatic advice on transporting XML documents securely over the Internet
For developers working with either MSXML with Visual C++ or Java and Xerces:
- See Chapter 3 for a step-by-step guide to enabling existing business applications to export XML documents
- See Chapter 2 for a step-by-step guide to enabling existing business applications to import XML documents
- See Chapter 5 for code examples and tips for validating XML documents against schemas
- See Chapter 12 for general tips on building commerce support into an application
For end users who need a simple and robust conversion utility:
- See Chapter 7 for converting CSV files to and from XML
- See Chapter 8 for converting flat files to and from XML
- See Chapter 9 for converting X12 EDI to and from XML
- See Chapter 11 for tips on how to use these techniques together for complex format conversions

摘要
'這本書提供了實用的解決方案，幫助您的業務應用程式充分利用XML，並以輕鬆的風格使讀者容易上手。Mike對這方面有豐富的經驗，他對解決方案和其背後的理念有著深入的理解。'
--Eve Maler, XML標準架構師，Sun Microsystems
運行不支援XML的舊應用程式的企業可能面臨艱難的選擇：保留舊應用程式還是轉換為支援XML的新應用程式。對於組織來說，XML既帶來挑戰也帶來機會，因為他們在處理數據時面臨著困境。
這個困境聽起來很熟悉嗎？如果您能使舊應用程式支援XML，該有多好？您可以實現這一點。在《使用XML與舊業務應用程式》中，電子商務專家Michael C. Rawlins介紹了解決日常XML相關數據交換問題的可用技術。Rawlins以易於理解的烹飪書方式，展示了如何使用Java和C++將XML支援集成到舊業務應用程式中。這些技術通過構建舊格式的轉換器進行演示。將CSV文件、平面文件和X12 EDI文件轉換為XML，再從XML轉換回來，將變得更加容易！
本書內容包括：
- 簡明教程，學習閱讀W3C XML模式
- 介紹使用XSLT在不同的XML格式之間進行轉換
- 關於在互聯網上安全傳輸XML文件的簡單實用建議
對於使用MSXML與Visual C++或Java和Xerces的開發人員：
- 請參閱第3章，了解如何逐步指南將現有的業務應用程式配置為導出XML文件
- 請參閱第2章，了解如何逐步指南將現有的業務應用程式配置為導入XML文件
- 請參閱第5章，了解驗證XML文件與模式的代碼示例和技巧
- 請參閱第12章，了解將商業支援集成到應用程式中的一般技巧
對於需要簡單而強大的轉換工具的最終用戶：
- 請參閱第7章，了解如何將CSV文件轉換為XML，以及如何從XML轉換回CSV文件
- 請參閱第8章，了解如何將平面文件轉換為XML，以及如何從XML轉換回平面文件
- 請參閱第9章，了解如何將X12 EDI文件轉換為XML，以及如何從XML轉換回X12 EDI文件
- 請參閱第11章，了解如何將這些技術結合使用進行複雜格式轉換的技巧
