 Hi
all,
I'm new to XML and
have a (basic?) question that I haven't tracked down an answer to in any
FAQs:
I am using an XML
Schema to describe my markup language. A feature I want to implement is a means
of a server receiving a document in several parts. i.e. a system with an initial
document, incremental documents and a terminating document with the
documents all part of the same schema. An example of the use of this would be
for specifying the results of a football match (say). I would specify an initial
document with the players and teams and the location of the match. Then after
each goal (say) I would create an update which related to this earlier document
and included the details of the goal. At the match end I would send the final
score and "close off" the document.
My main desire is to
avoid sending the entire document (with the updates) each
time.
Is this possible?
One of the challenges that springs to mind is that I need a unique ID for the
series of documents that the recipient (server) can use to build the entire
document - how do I create this with multiple clients creating
documents?
Any thoughts
gratefully received.
