Simple Web Services Consumer
A new class definition, HTTPRequest, is added to the existing XML-related classes in library file xmllib.apl.
This new class enables you to send and receive text strings, or XML documents, using the HTTP protocol.
Exchanging XML documents via HTTP is one of the principal ways businesses use SOAP, Simple Object Access Protocol,
so this class will be very useful for many customers. This version ships with sample applications that illustrate
how the HTTPRequest class is used. They are not part of the regular Team Developer Samples Installer task, but can
be individually uncompressed from file HttpRequest_Samples.zip. Note that your internet connection may not currently
support web services, so if you wish to develop SOAP or other web service clients, you may need to configure your
connection or proxy server to allow this.

Improved Enterprise Integration via XML for Windows and Linux Applications
There is an increasing need for application to interoperate with other systems and applications across the enterprise. Some examples include; Office software, Enterprise Application Servers, Customer Relationship Management and Enterprise Resource Planning.
XML has become the de facto standard for data exchange between systems. Team Developer 2005.1 delivers full built-in XML support ensuring it is easy to exchange data with any other system that supports XML.
-
Use XML to exchange data with other applications and systems such as Microsoft Office, Open Office, SAP, J2EE and .NET
-
New DOM class library to create and manipulate XML files
-
Create XML files from SQL query results
-
New functions to facilitate the serialization and deserialization between User-Defined Variables(UDVs) and XML

New XML DOM Class Library
XML makes data exchange efficient and easy
Team Developer's new cross-platform XML class library provides all the functions necessary to read, analyze, change and write XML files.
For example, an online store sends an XML file for every purchase to a Team Developer business process. This process analyzes the XML structure and writes the order into a CRM system, then inserts the same data into a financial system for order processing. XML is a great standard way of application data exchange.

Easily read XML files coming from other applications
XML Serialization is an important feature when reading XML files coming from other applications. Serialize UDVs or UDV arrays to XML. Deserialize XML files to UDVs or UDV arrays.
Team Developer directly interfaces with XML using its powerful OOP capabilities. An example of this would be storing status information of an application when a user has gone through several screens of an application to process a transaction, but does not finalize it. In this case the application can store the status information in a XML file and load it again when the user wants to continue his work.
