John Zhang, a partner at AlotSoft, emphasizes the importance of object model during the adoption of industry standard XML Schema, TXLife/XMLife, Acord's P&C, FIXML, FpML, MDDL, and RIXML.

John Zhang, a partner at AlotSoft LLC (http://www.alotsoft.com),
recently emphasizes the importance of using a object model approach
in the adoption of industry standard XML schema process.

"Industry standard XML schema, like TXLife/XMLife, P&C, and
reinsurance from Acord, and FIXML, FpML, MDDL, RIXML from
different individual industry/trade associations are meant to create
a standard message format that serves as the common language between
different applications within or across enterprise boundaries." John
said.

"The common language is the XML schema" John said, " Such industry
strength XML schema is usually very large to cover many aspects of
the common industry practice, terminologies, and processes. It is
created through the consensus process of many leading industry
experts."

The XML messages that are passed between applications are such that
they can be valiated by the XML schema. Such XML message should be
converted into object whose data field is avaiable to read from
or write to. This process is called XML marshalling/unmarshalling.
XML string to object conversion is not trivial, especially for
large industry strength XML schemas, like XMLife/TXLife, Acord P&C,
Acord Reinsurance, FIXML, FpML, MDDL, RIXML.

Besides XML parsing, incoming XML message should be validated with
the standard XML schema to ensure its correctness. The validation is
not trivial, either.

"AlotSoft (http://www.alotsoft.com) is the first company that provides
complete object model
for so many industry standard XML schema." John Zhang said. "Our
object model does the XML parsing, data type check, XML schema validation
under the cover with a single method call. Our object model is an
middleware that can wrap around any application so that it is XML
schema compliance."

John mentioned that "AlotSoft(http://www.alotsoft.com)'s object model
approach means that
you preserve your existing technical investment. You don't need to
replace your application software, nor your databases. Our object model
make your adoption process of industry XML schema a smooth one."
