Automating Code Generation Using XSLT and XPath
Presented by: David
Green, Make Technologies Inc.
Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT)
and XML Path Language (XPath) are currently used throughout
the industry for transforming structured information,
e.g., XML to XML, XML to HTML, XML to WML. A commonly
overlooked yet ideal application of this technology
is to transform XML to Java source code. Using XSLT,
XPath and XML Schema, the instructor will demonstrate
a unique methodology that allows developers to rapidly
build Enterprise-class web services applications over
any application server. This presentation will provide
a step-by-step overview of how Make Technologies is
using XSLT and XPath for transforming instances of XML
into java applications today.

Patent and Web Standards
Moderated by: Michael Champion, Software AG
In recent months, the W3C has released a working draft
of new framework governing the potential use of patented
technology in W3C Recommendations. As the working draft
of 16 August states, "the root of the challenge posed
by patents in any standards arena is that participants
in a standards body will be unwilling and unable to
work collaboratively if, at the end of the process,
the jointly-developed standard can only be implemented
by meeting licensing terms that are unduly burdensome,
unknown at the beginning or even the end of the design
process, or considered unreasonable." There has been
an unprecedented response to the proposed policy, indicating
that there is widespread disagreement in the Web community
on the desirability of incorporating patented technology
and on what terms are "reasonable."
This
Town Hall forum will be open to the public as well as
XML 2001 attendees and will provide an opportunity to
listen to speakers describe the issues at stake in this
controversy and to participate in the debate over the
best way for the Web community to respond. The forum
will concentrate on the W3C patent policy and how it
can be defined to be practical and workable in the current
legal environment.
