CICS and XML Strategies

As the use of XML continues to become more prevalent, knowing the options
available in the CICS Transaction Server environment become increasingly
important.  CICS's Web service support, CICS's TRANSFORM API command,
COBOL's PARSE verb, and Java parsers are some of the available options,
but each of them are surrounded with many details.  This session is
intended to discuss the various XML usage options in the CICS Transaction
Server environment, with a focus on using mapping level capabilities for
dealing with common XML-related issues such as string handling and
occurring item. Use of zAAP processors for offloading some of the XML
parsing will also be discussed.
