Application Development Tools for XML, Web Services, and SOA

Tools and API's available

U2 Web Services Developer – The U2 Web Services Development Tool for UniData and UniVerse (U2WSD) allows developers to create Web Services quickly from existing subroutines as well as from queries. This enables disparate organizations to communicate with one another using a worldwide standard. Businesses embracing Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) with U2-based applications can provide information as a service using U2WSD. You may optionally purchase connection pools to use with U2 Web Service Developer to improve scalability. U2 U2 Web Services Developer is available on the U2 client CD. For more information, see the U2 Web Services Developer Manual (5MB).

XML/DB – The XML/DB tool enables you to create a mapping file to use when creating XML documents from the UniData database, or when extracting data from an XML document and updating the UniData database

The XML/DB tool loads a DTD or XML Schema, validates the DTD or XML Schema, opens the associated data files, and produces an outline of the file structure. You can then map the DTD or XML Schema tags to the associated fields in the data file, and use this map with UniQuery, UniData SQL, UniBasic, or the XMAP API. Refer to the UniData UniBasic Extensions (5.74MB) and UniVerse BASIC Extension (5.35MB) manuals found in the U2 Library for more information.
