`Acknowledgments
`
`This book was originally my idea, but I feel like I am just a conductor of a very well­
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`oiled publishing machine. The people at Microsoft Press really turned my idea into
`
`
`what I think is a book that holds together quite well and is fairly consistent from
`
`chapter to chapter.
`I'd like to thank Vicky Thulman, who acted as the Hollywood producer, bal­
`
`
`
`
`
`
`ancing the need for "the talent" (that would be me) to have creative control against
`
`
`
`
`
`the real-world pressures of the publishing business. Vicky kept me informed through­
`
`
`
`
`
`out production of the book, managing the editorial process and keeping me in line.
`
`
`
`
`Brian Johnson, the technical editor, was fabulous at checking all of my facts
`
`
`
`
`and not letting me get away with glossing over a technical issue. Brian also con­
`
`
`vinced me to register the domain names mentioned in the book. Now if you go to
`
`
`know who to blame. myduckjokes.com or duckbarjokes.com,�you'll
`
`
`Becka McKay saw the manuscripts first. I wrote this book in about a dozen hotel
`
`
`
`
`rooms and at least as many airplane trips over several months. Consistency suffered
`
`
`
`
`as a result. It was Becka's job to tell you, the reader, what I actually meant. I tend to
`
`
`
`
`use the words "this" and "that" a lot. Becka added a lot of comments like "author is
`
`
`
`saying 'this' again. What do�s he mean this time?"
`
`
`The team at Microsoft Press were the best an author can have. I look forward
`
`to working with them again!
`The good people at OrnniMark Technologies were very supportive of this book,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`since it showcases their great product. Chief Technical Officer John McFadden pulled
`
`
`
`out all the stops in his organization to get me a working copy of OrnniMark that had
`
`
`
`
`
`
`world-class handling of XML documents and schemas. As always, OrnniMark Tech­
`
`
`
`
`
`nologies makes the difficult look easy. The impossible took them a little longer. Mark
`
`
`
`
`Baker at OmniMark worked with my last-minute deadlines on the material for Ap­
`
`
`
`
`
`pendix A, "OmniMark for the Impatient." I left it mostly intact, only modifying it for
`
`
`
`the duck-bar theme and adding some information appropriate to the rest of the book.
`
`
`There are several people at Microsoft who helped keep me in the loop about
`
`
`
`
`
`technologies in the book. Kevin McCall, the BizTalk Evangelist, never sleeps. He jets
`
`
`around the world telling people about BizTalk and how they can solve their B2B
`
`
`
`
`problems. It was Kevin who pointed out that the BizTalk Framework spec changed
`
`
`
`
`
`radically after I had shipped chapters to the publisher. Fortunately, Vicky gave me

`
`an extension to update the book to the new draft spec. John Montgomery plays a
`
`
`
`
`
`
`similar role for SOAP. Jo� filled me in on the relationship between SOAP and BizTalk.
`
`
`
`
`Robert Coleridge is an Architect at Microsoft working on the ROPE implementation.
`
`
`
`Robert kept me in the loop as new builds came along. There are many others at
`
`
`
`Microsoft who have been a great help, and I'd like to thank them all.
`Mehtap Ozkan helped with a nasty bug in ASP that caused data in a POST
`
`
`method to get lost. She worked intensely to come up with the right combination of
`
`
`
`
`character conversion functions to find the lost data. Mehtap also provided spiritual
`
`
`
`support during the difficult last part of the writing process.
`John Iobst from the Newspaper Association of America was helpful in sorting
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`through the history and politics of what his organization is doing with XML and stan­
`
`
`dard schemas for sharing news content.
`
`
`
`I have taught thousands of students over the past couple of years about XML
`
`
`
`and e-commerce applications. These lectures and seminars allow me to test new
`
`
`
`material and see what works and what doesn't. My students' feedback is what made
`
`
`
`the information in this book possible, and it gave me plenty of duck-bar jokes.
`

`
`Introduction
`
`The extensible Markup Language, or XML, is a simple technology that has taken the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`computer world by storm. Even before XML was formally adopted, Microsoft Chair­
`
`
`
`
`man Bill Gates called XML a "breakthrough technology" because he saw the value
`
`
`
`of defining data transactions in an open, platform-independent way. Since then, many
`
`
`standards of data interchange have been built on top of XML, each with a particular
`
`purpose and all using XML's simple syntax.
`BizTalk and the Simple Object Access P rotocol (SOAP) are XML-based, open
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`initiatives designed to facilitate electronic commerce between systems on the Web.
`
`
`
`
`XML enables syntax, because Both BizTalk and SOAP use XML as their data exchange
`
`
`you to specify data in a very precise way.
`I've wanted to write an XML book for some time. My book, Tbe SGML Implemen­
`
`
`
`Guide (Springer Verlag, 1995), was a.,real-world hands-on guide to implementers
`tation
`
`
`
`of SGML in the mid-1990s. When XML came along, I wanted to update my first book
`
`
`
`
`to make it XML-compatible. This was difficult, however. Because of its simplicity,
`
`
`flexibility, and much smaller size, XML can do so much more than SGML. Any book
`that I wrote would have to be XML-specific.
`I have a job that keeps me pretty busy, so I never got around to writing that
`
`
`
`XML book. Over the next year or so, there were plenty of XML books published that
`
`
`
`
`
`covered various topics, and the XML bookshelf at the local book superstore was
`
`
`
`
`getting pretty crowded. I didn't want my XML book to get lost on that shelf.
`
`Then came a couple of great XML applications-BizTalk and SOAP-and I
`
`
`figured it was time to write my first XML book.
`
`
`
`There are similarities between BizTalk and SOAP, but there are also differences.
`
`
`
`
`In this book, I will attempt to explain these differences and give examples of each.
`
`BIZTALK
`The BizTalk initiative was started by Microsoft to address the issue of moving busi­
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`ness documents between trading partners in the e-commerce supply chain. BizTalk
`
`
`
`
`
`
`provides an elegant envelope for moving electronic documents around the Internet in
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`the same way the postal service moves physical envelopes between trading partners.

`

`Introduction
`
`BizTalk is really four different facets of a single initiative. First there is the BizTalk
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Framework is a set
`
`
`Framework Independent Document
`
`Specification. The BizTalk
`
`
`
`of tags that provides an addressing definition so that you can get your documents
`
`
`from one place to another and cause some kind of processing to happen at each place.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`The BizTalk Framework works like a virtual envelope for sending business documents
`
`to our trading partners.
`Second, BizTalk.org is a Web site that provides a place to learn about e-commerce
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`technologies-XML in general and BizTalk in particular. BizTalk.org hosts discussion
`
`
`
`groups where you can find peer support for developing your own document vocabu­
`
`
`
`
`
`laries, named schemas, and help in integrating your schemas into the BizTalk Frame­
`
`
`
`
`work. BizTalk.org is also a repository for schemas (definitions for XML documents)
`
`
`
`
`and allows you to post your schemas for others to access. This service is free.
`
`
`
`
`
`Third, to process your BizTalk documents, you will need a BizTalk Framework
`
`
`
`
`
`Compliant (BFC) server. A BFC server is the software that reads BizTalk documents
`
`
`
`and then does something intelligent with them. The intelligent thing it does will
`
`depend on what systems you have in place and what needs to be done to process
`the document.
`And fourth, there is Microsoft BizTalk Server 2000, which runs on Microsoft
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Windows 2000 Server. Because of the open nature of the BizTalk Framework speci­
`
`
`
`
`
`
`fication, you can create BizTalk messages on a Linux system running a BizTalk ser­
`
`
`
`ver written in Java and read the messages on a Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced
`
`
`Server using BizTalk Server 2000.
`BizTalk is viewed by some as a Microsoft-specific protocol that requires Microsoft
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`platforms. This is not the case. The first three facets of BizTalk that I've outlined here
`
`
`
`are not proprietary to Microsoft in any way. Two Java applications can pass data back
`
`
`
`and forth using BizTalk messages. Businesses that run on UNIX can use schemas
`published
`
`
`
`
`to BizTalk.org. A BizTalk server can be written in P erl or any other Inter­
`
`
`net-aware programming language.
`In this book, we will write a BizTalk server using OmniMark, an internet-savvy
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`programming language with built-in support for XML documents.
`
`SOAP
`SOAP started life as a way of invoking DCOM (Distributed COM) methods in a more
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`loosely coupled way than regular COM method invocations. It evolved into a speci­
`
`
`
`
`
`fication that allowed for methods to be invoked on dissimilar systems across Inter­
`
`
`
`net protocols (HTTP, FTP, and so on). SOAP and BizTalk are similar in their approach
`
`
`
`
`
`to interchanging information but each is optimized for different transaction types.
`
`
`
`
`SOAP is at the core of a Microsoft initiative called Web Services. Web Services
`
`
`
`offers a new way of looking at the Web. By using an HTML browser to look at infor­
`
`
`
`
`
`
`mation, information consumers force content providers (pretty much anyone on the

`
`Web) to "dumb down" their data so that human eyes can consume it. By removing
`
`
`
`the formatting requirements for the data, the data can be delivered in a raw format,
`allowing
`
`
`
`
`
`services to aggregate and process that data, ultimately offering it to users
`
`
`
`
`
`with added value. An example of such data is real-time weather. A travel site could
`
`
`
`
`
`combine its content with weather reports to provide next week's travelers with a
`
`
`
`tentative weather forecast. A Web site that provides weather as HTML pages can
`
`
`
`generate extra income by providing the raw weather data as an XML stream in re­
`
`
`
`
`
`
`sponse to a real-time request for weather in a particular location to parties who will
`
`pay to repackage that content.
`Like the platform-independent BizTalk, you can send a SOAP method invoca­
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`tion to a Perl script running on Solaris, which in turn invokes a Java class to extract
`
`
`
`data from an Oracle database. The response is sent as an XML document object, which
`
`then can be used in your application. You don't need to know what platform your
`
`
`service is running on.
`To understand BizTalk and SOAP, you need to understand the underlying syn­
`
`
`
`
`
`
`tax that makes it all possible-XML. In fact, BizTalk is an extension of SOAP, using
`
`
`
`
`SOAP to deliver a business document over HTTP. When you are using BizTalk, you
`are using SOAP and XML as well.
`Part I of this book is an introduction to XML from a business and technical point
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`of view. The purpose of this introduction is to provide a perspective for building and
`
`
`
`interchanging. business information using XML structures.
`
`
`
`This first part is really the XML book I wanted to write. Even if you don't care
`
`
`about BizTalk or SOAP, I hope you will find some value in the description of XML
`in Part I, which is aimed at the developer.
`Part II of the book discusses the BizTalk Framework and shows how you can
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`use XML and BizTalk today to create e-commerce applications. In Part III we actu­
`
`
`ally build some BFC servers using various Microsoft and non-Microsoft tools.
`
`
`
`
`I enjoyed writing this book because it gave me a chance to discover some great
`
`
`
`stuff happening in the B2B (business-to-business) marketplace. I think SOAP and Web
`
`Services will truly change the way people think about their jobs and even their lives.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`BizTalk will provide companies with a standard, cost-effective way to replace paper
`when doing transactions.

`
`SOAP Toolkit for Visual Studio 6.0
`
`
`
`About the Companion CD
`
`The SOAP Toolkit for Visual Studio 6.0 is a developer tool published by Microsoft. It
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`has tools to help you create Service Description Language (SDL) files so that you can
`
`
`expose Web services using SOAP. It also contains the Remote Object Proxy Engine
`
`
`
`
`
`(ROPE), that provides client-side or server-side capabilities that enable you to send
`
`and receive SOAP documents.
`A Microsoft manager told me, "If you can create a COM object, you can cre­
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`ate a Web Service" using the SOAP Toolkit. He is right. This is a very powerful
`
`
`
`program. If you are a Visual Studio developer, you should get to know SOAP and
`the SOAP Toolkit.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`The install program for the SOAP Toolkit is in the folder \Software \SOAPTK\.
`
`
`
`
`
`Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5
`
`Internet Explorer 5.5 includes an XML parser that you can access programmatically
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`from Microsoft Visual Basic or from scripting languages such as Microsoft Visual Basic,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Scripting Edition (VBScript). Internet Explorer 5.5 installs on Microsoft Windows 95
`
`
`
`
`or later, Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, and Microsoft Windows 2000. The installer for
`
`
`
`
`
`this program is located in the \Software\IE55\ folder on the companion CD.
`
`
`
`Architag XRay XML Editor
`
`The Architag XR.ay XML Editor, or simply XR.ay, is a real-time validating XML editor.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`By real-time, I mean that XR.ay checks an XML document as you type, giving you an
`
`
`
`
`
`indication of any errors in the file. XR.ay was developed as a learning aid for students
`
`
`taking Architag University
`
`
`courses. It's optimized for
`(http://architag.com/university)
`
`
`
`
`
`instruction, allowing you to learn XML syntax quickly with immediate feedback. The
`
`
`
`
`product supports well-formed XML and valid XML according to DTD schema syntax
`
`
`or XML Data Reduced (XDR) schema syntax, which is used by the BizTalk Initiative.
`
`
`
`
`XR.ay can also help in debugging XML-based programs. Some applications use
`
`
`
`XML under the covers. To debug an XML-based system, you might need to take a
`
`
`
`
`
`look at the XML documents that are created. The product is called XR.ay because it
`
`allows you to look inside your XML documents.
`XR.ay also has two features that we use in Architag University classes: an XSL
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Transformation (XSLT) window and an HTML previewer. The XSLT window allows
`
`
`
`you to transform an XML document that is in a currently open window by associat­
`
`
`ing it with an XSLT style sheet. If you are transforming to HTML, the output of the
`
`
`
`transformation can be viewed instantly with the HTML preview widow.
`
`
`
`The install program for XR.ay is in the \Software\Xray\ folder.

`OmniMark CNM
`
`REI
`
`The OmniMark programming language is featured in this book because I really like the lan­
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`guage for creating fast, platform-independent, scalable, network-enabled applications. The good
`
`
`
`
`
`
`folks at OmniMark Technologies Corporation have provided me with the latest version of their
`
`
`
`free product, OmniMark C/VM (compiler/virtual machine). OmniMark is documented
`
`
`throughout the book and in Appendix A.
`OmniMark runs under most any popular operating system. The version on the compan­
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`ion CD is for Microsoft Win32 environments. You can download versions for other platforms
`
`
`
`
`OmniMark also offers a subscription from the OmniMark site at http://w111w.omnimark.com.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`service named the OmniMark Developer's Network (OMDN) that provides telephone and e­
`
`
`
`
`
`mail support, plus early access to new versions of software and peer support. If you are an
`
`
`
`OmniMark programmer, you should subscribe to this service.
`The install program for OmniMark C/VM 6.0 is in the \Software\OmniMark\ folder.

`on the World Wide Web.
`
`
`
`OmniMark Integrated Development Environment
`
`
`
`Ml�
`
`The install program for OmniMark IDE 2.0 is in the \Software\OmniMark\ folder.
`
`The OmniMark Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is a tool that you can use to
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`develop and debug your OmniMark programs. The OmniMark virtual machine (VM) is tightly
`
`
`
`
`integrated with the IDE, which provides you with a set of great features including breakpoints,
`
`
`
`variable watches, and throttled execution.
`The product on the CD is written for Win32 environments. It is a 10-day evaluation
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`product. You must link to the OmniMark site to get an �nlocking code for the 10-day trial. This
`
`
`
`
`
`is a great product and definitely worth installing if you are interested in developing OmniMark
`programs.
