Java and Database Connectivity: Slide 62

Moving to XML

Using it: applications

Now we need to write applications which will:

allow us to generate these documents
- not very hard, there are Java components around which semi-automate creating a form-driven special-purpose editor from a DTD...
allow our diary programs to automatically handle these documents
- much harder, but XML parser libaries are available for most modern programming languages which you can build on.
We probably won't get that far today.
