What follows is a series of experiments & associated findings that should shed some light on this area. Experiment One:  One restriction when using the parallel shape is that if multiple branches make use of a given orchestration variable, you can get a compiler error: error X2226: 'someVar': if shared data is updated in a parallel then all references in every task must be in a synchronized or atomic scope In the experiment below, we are accesing ‘someVar’ in both parallel branches - each w......

18405 of 19643 | XML in the Crystal Ball: Binary XML and Grid Computing - Binary XML has been one of those concepts that`s been bandied aboutfor the last couple of years, though not without a huge amount ofaction. The principle here is simple - with XML as it exists now, textbased content can readily be parsed on any platform into an internalbinary representation (a DOM), but both the operations of parsing thefile and the subsequent reserialization of the content to externalentities are expensive operations. Time critical and high volumetransactions, such as those within financial applications, areespecially sensitive to this problem, and this may in fact account forthe less than enthusiastic adoption of web services within this sector....

18406 of 19643 | XML in the Crystal Ball: Overview - Looking at XML Technologies in 2005 In roughly a month, XML will officially be seven years old. On February 2, 1998, XML was approved as a recommendation, though work on the specification had been ongoing since 1996. Even by the more normal pace of things outside of the Internet, seven years is a fairly hefty chunk of time; within the telescoped Internet time XML is positively ancient. At one point, it was necessary to spell out what XML stood for and spend no small amount of time involved in the process of explaining why such an odd bit of document markup should be so significant. Today, XML is so pervasive that it is almost impossible t......

18407 of 19643 | Another XML Team introduction - Stan Kitsis - Hi everyone. I have recently joined the Microsoft XML team as a Program Manager focusing on XML Tools. As such, I am open to all feedback you might have regarding the new XML Editor (VS 2005) and any other XML tools that you would like to see in the future. My pre-Microsoft life includes 8 years of enterprise software development experience with a company called Comshare - an ISV that was specializing in developing corporate performance management applications (Comshare was acquired by Geac in 2003, at which time my career with the company came to an end). I have an MBA from the University of Michigan and an undergraduate degree in Computer Science from Case Western Reserve University. I ca......

18408 of 19643 | Elements containing either text or other elements - Overview A question pops up now and again in XML-related newsgroups about being able to define an element that could contain either text or other elements.  Basically, people want to say   myelement>   Some text myelement>     OR myelement>   child1>1child1>   child2>2child2> myelement>   A simple answer to this question is no.  If this is exactly what you want, you cant do it.  However, there are several ways to get similar results.  Below I outline some of them.   Method 1: mixed type First of all, you can define myelement> to be of mixed type:   xs:complexType name ="myelement" mixed="true">   xs:sequence minOccurs="0">     xs:element name="child1" type="xs:integer" />     xs:e......

18411 of 19643 | Parsing the XML DOM - Notes Of XML DOM (part1) - For a long time, I can only read and write XML, and I don`t know how to parse it. Recently, I found a good place to learn XML and relative technology, that is www.w3schools.com. When I follow the tutorial, I take some notes and test what I`ve learned. However, I find it difficult to remember all stuff once, so I divide them into serveral parts. What is DOM The XML Document Object Model (DOM) is a programming interface for XML documents. It defines the way an XML document can be accessed and manipulated. The DOM represents a tree view of the XML document. The documentElement is the top-level of the tree. This element has one or many childNodes that represent the ......

18412 of 19643 | The good databases have not gone away, they just walk instead of run... - Adam Bosworth has pointed out an interesting set of requirements for database systems in his post titled “Where have all the good databases gone”: Dynamic Schema support Dynamic partitioning Better Indexing of non relational data I think all of them are indeed important and based on my insight into the database industry, the major database vendors are working on addressing them. I think the recent addition of the XML datatype to SQL (and the major database vendors) to store data with more dynamic schemas and XQuery to query that data in a (hopefully) efficient way is certainly one of the main technologies to address some of the dynamic schema scenarios. Others are dynamic, online schema ......

18413 of 19643 | The Rules Engine and Repeating Elements - I have found a scenario with the rules engine where the defaults in the Rule Composer do not produce the desired results when dealing with a node that contains repeating elements.   The XML document that I was dealing with had the following structure.   Description for Item 1 Description for Item 2 Description for Item 3   In the Business Rule Composer when I add the schema in the Facts Explorer to the XML Schemas tab, the Rules Composer creates the following XPaths by default on the Item node.   XPath Field:  *[local-name()=`Item` and namespace-uri()=``] XPath Selector:  /*[local-name()=`Package` and namespace-uri()=``]/*[local-name()=`Items` and namespace-uri()=``]   This set of defa......

18414 of 19643 | XML DOM Parser Errors - Notes Of XML DOM (part3) - The DOMDocument`s parseError property returns an IXMLDOMParseError object that contains information about the last parsing error. The object`s properties are: errorCode: Code number of the error. A zero value means there was no error. Numbers are negative numbers close to the smallest integer allowed. filepos: The absolute file position where the error occurred. line: The line number where the error occurred. linepos: The character position within the line where the error occurred. reason: Explains the reason of the error. srcText: The full text of the line where the error occurred. url: The URL of the XML file where the last parsing error occurred. Now, create......

18415 of 19643 | XQuery and XSLT are declarative languages and other XQuery related posts - I recently posted a reply to an XML-DEV enquiry explaining why XQuery and XSLT are declarative languages and providing some advantages of declarative over procedural languages (and some of the costs). M. David Peterson liked it and posted it on his blog (so I don`t have to do it myself :-)). Note that indeed I am not Mike Champion, and I am sure he is glad that I am not :-). But I feel honored to have my postings be put into the same category as his. Also, Edd Dumbill posted an article called XQuery`s Niche on XML.com that summarized another (related) XML-DEV perma-thread this month. While I was too busy during that discussion to participate (I am building systems after all :-)), I would li......

18416 of 19643 | Zero-click design-time validation of XML in VS: the XmlValidate custom tool - Have you ever wanted you could just save an XML file and have a custom tool tell you what`s the output of its validation with a schema (or set of schemas) just as it would be at runtime using the XmlValidatingReader Go ahead and download the Mvp.Xml.Design installer, and you can have that. Just assign to a file the custom tool "Mvp.Xml.XmlValidate" and set in the Custom Tool Namespace property a semi-colon separated list of schema files (either relative to the file location or with absolute path) and you`re done. Everytime you modify the XML file and save it, the associated .txt file will tell you what the outcome of the validation is. You can investigate other tools offered by the Mvp.Xml......

18417 of 19643 | BizTalk Modular Deployment - I’ve just posted an article on Modular Deployment of BizTalk Server projects. I’m using it at the moment in my current project, and it seems to work fine.   Also, I picked up Scott’s book, and am about half way through it. It’s good to be able to fill in the gaps in my knowledge, and looks like a great intro to the product. It does not cover that many advanced topics, with the exception of creating custom adapters, but I guess it would have to be double the size to cover everything in any great detail.  Defiantly worth picking up a copy if you work or play with BizTalk....

18418 of 19643 | Building a XUL Date Picker with XBL - Using XML as a language for defining classes (or more often "behaviors") is hardly new. The behavior components within Internet Explorer, which first utilized many of the same design patterns now used by XBL, working in much the same fashion - by assigning a CSS behavior property to an external "class" definition written in some form of markup you could turn an HTML object into a much more sophisticated object. However, such behaviors have not seen much usage until comparatively recently with both the emergence of Firefox as a world class browser and with the use of sXBL within SVG. These behaviors are not only useful add-ons ... in many cases they actually define many of the "core" XUL (th......
