"Third time pays for all."
-- Middle Earth saying from J.R.R. Tolkien's books

The number three has importance not only in the world of Middle Earth, but among the bustling developments taking place in the world of XML. A pair of firms has updated their XML developer products to version 3 this month.

“In Stylus Studio 2006 Release 3 Enterprise Edition, we’ve updated our XML Deployment Components and our support for popular processing components including DataDirect XQuery, RenderX XEP, Saxon, and others,” Robert Evelyn, VP and General Manager of DataDirect’s XML Products Group said in a statement.

Stylus Studio also added new Java APIs for their XML Deployment Components. Developers who craft applications to work with EDI/ANSI X12/EDIFACT formats for processing government RFQs and purchase orders should find these useful.

The new release also included support for DataDirect Connect for JDBC 3.6. This connector provides access to relational databases. The platform’s support for DataDirect XQuery means applications can query a variety of sources like SOAP messages, EDI, or relational data, and output XML.

Altova unveiled updates throughout the Release 3 version of its XML Suite Version 2006. XMLSpy now carries support for enhanced error handling in the XML validator; a new XSLT 2.0 and XQuery profiler; and processing with the XSLT 2.0 engine that averages a 75 percent increase in speed.

A tabbed interface in the validator lets the developer track multiple files with validation errors. Each file can be assigned to a different tab, allowing the developer to trace each file on a separate tab.

Altova’s StyleVision 2006 has received a series of enhancements to its user interface. The company also noted new features include CSS and JavaScript support. In its MapForce 2006 product, Altova included Web services implementation along with advanced flat file parsing.

MapForce, like XMLSpy, integrates with both the Eclipse and the Visual Studio IDEs. That provides MapForce with an easy path to enter a developer’s toolkit for application development, due to the popularity of both IDE products.

DataDirect Technologies, the company behind the XML IDE, recently announced its Stylus Studio 2006 Release 2 product, starting at $795 for a single-user license. Stylus Studio has emphasized simplifying the developer’s work with applications utilizing EDI:

Stylus Studio’s EDI-to-XML and XML-to-EDI tools now support hundreds of message and transaction set types of EDIFACT and X12 – across dozens of versions – allowing EDI to be used as easily as XML as input to XSLT and XQuery programs. And those same programs can write output through the adapter, generating EDI transparently and automatically.

Stylus Studio supports the newest release of X12, 5030, keeping the tradition of providing comprehensive support of available versions of X12. Preliminary versions of EDIFACT are also supported. Stylus Studio can now automatically convert to and from EDIFACT versions from the prototype 88-1 to the present D05A version.


The new IDE also recognizes IATA PADIS, an EDI standard for air transportation. A new Document Wizard allows developers to convert an IATA document to XML Schema.

Also, the company improved the Java adapter components for its XML Adapter API. This permits better access to relational databases, EDI, or legacy data. DataDirect said the Java adapter components can be embedded more easily and offer faster streaming performance.
