Subject:  ANN: XML-DBMS, Version 1.0

XML-DBMS version 1.0 is now available at:

http://www.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/DVS1/staff/bourret/xmldbms/xmldbms.htm

XML-DBMS is a set of Java packages you can use to transfer data between XML documents and relational databases. It views the XML document as a tree of objects and then uses an object-relational mapping to transfer the data. Both the view of the XML document and the mapping are completely configureable through a simple, XML-based mapping language.

XML-DBMS is both parser and database independent, as it is based on the DOM, SAX, and JDBC. It is currently being used or evaluated in a number of large European corporations and is, to my knowledge, the only XML data transfer middleware that is freely available, database-independent, and can transfer data both to and from any XML document.

Since the alpha/beta release, I have added a number of features, including:

The ability to generate a mapping from a DTD or DDML document.
User-controlled date/time/timestamp formats.
User-specified treatment of null data.
Caching/reuse of prepared statements for better speed.
Serialization of mappings from Map objects.
Additional user control over transactions.

As always, XML-DBMS is completely free for use in both commercial and non-commercial settings and comes with complete documentation and source code.
