Commerce One is releasing an open source, royalty-free
development kit for web services, Soap and XML.
The DocSOAP XML Development Kit is intended to provide
developers with XML and Soap tools to take advantage of web
services technology, particularly for handling large business
documents associated with e-commerce integration and the
development of composite applications.
The kit, also known as DocSOAP XDK, is designed to address the
handling of potentially large XML and non-XML documents.
Kit components include UniParser, which is an XML compiler for
parsing and validating XML documents; Xgen, an XML Java Bean
generator making it easier for Java programmers to manipulate XML
documents; Document Framework APIs, for manipulating XML documents
through DOM, SAX, and Bean interfaces; and DocSOAP Framework APIs,
for generating and processing Soap messages that conform to SOAP
versions 1.1 and 1.2, Soap with Attachments and Dime.
