SOAP's selling point is its simplicity, Marchal says. Because the new protocol builds on familiar technologies, in particular the Web server and XML, it's relatively easy for developers to design and deploy SOAP servers.

It also describes how to generate an XML call tree from collected profile data, including function call information, such as the number of calls and cumulative time spent in function calls.

The most common transformation is converting an XML document, into HTML, however the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is currently working on two proposed standards for transforming XML documents: XSLT and XPath. This tutorial introductory version of Ken Holman's "Practical transformation using XSLT and XPath (XSL transformations and the XML Path Language) will help you understand these important standards efforts.

The chapter provides an overview of the issues involved and details 11 rules for creating XML data structures for data in a relational database. The article includes suggestions for creating data structures that can be processed rapidly. Used with the permission of the publisher.
