Using XLink to simplify the representation of data ====================== This column takes a look at how to use XLink pointers when representing data to make XML documents more compact and flexible. Sample code shows examples of an invoice with and without the XLink pointers, plus an example of using XLinks with a URL-addressable database. http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-xdxlnk?open&l=136,t=grx,p=Xlink2 Answers to the question "When shouldn't you use XML?" ====================== Today the computing world tends toward using XML for any and all formal specifications and data descriptions. The author, a big fan of XML, asks a blasphemous question: "Is XML totalitarianism a good idea?" In this opinion piece, Terence Parr, co-founder of jGuru, demonstrates that XML does not make the best human interface. He also provides questions to ask yourself to determine if XML is appropriate even for your project's program-to-program interface needs. http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-sbxml?open&l=136,t=grx,p=notXML Long-term persistence: Serialize JavaBean component state to XML ====================== The ability to save the JavaBean component state for long-term persistence within an XML document has been a topic of much discussion with Java developers in the past few years. This feature has finally been adopted in the 1.4 version of J2SE. This article shows you how to use the new XMLEncoder and XMLDecoder classes, bypassing serialization and allowing you to generate fully initialized bean instances. http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-mer0731/?open&l=136,t=grj,p=long-term
