User's Guide
VisualAge Smalltalk provides the following three loadable features for XML
support:
- VA: XML Support
- This feature includes the following:
- All XML parsers, tools, and examples along with visual tools to simplify
construction of XML applications.
- User interface portion of the Web Server Interface.
- Serialization code to provide an API which converts Smalltalk objects to
XML strings and to convert DOM objects into Smalltalk business objects.
XML input deserialization generates Smalltalk objects from XML. XML
output serialization generates XML from Smalltalk objects.
- ST: XML parser
- This feature includes the minimal XML parser which contains support for
parsing XML streams that do not require external resources from remote
sources. Local file resources can be read. The specific features
are:
- SAX parser engine
- DTD validating DOM parser
- Basic schema support
- XML<->Smalltalk mapping support
- Mapping parser to parse XML directly into domain objects
- Serialization support to create XML from domain objects
- ST: XML communications
- This feature includes the following:
- Server interface code to allow the programmer to build XML request
handlers for processing incoming server requests. The XML request
handler strategy is based on the existing Web Server Interface
framework.
- Support that enables remote resources to be read via TCP sockets using
HTTP requests
- ST: XML parser feature
It is recommended that you load the VA: XML Support
feature. For information on setting up and using the Web Server
Interface, see the VisualAge Smalltalk Web Connection Guide.
