We are currently populating our web pages with legacy system data. To dothis we are formatting an XML document on the legacy system and passing itto a JAVA servlet, which merges the XML and XSL files, to create the HTMLthat is sent back to the client. This works great, but here's my issue:I'd like to also send the queries from the web page (via a Java servlet)to our legacy system in XML format, instead of using comma-delimited or fixedformat data structures. I will then parse the XML on the legacy system usinga COBOL-like 4GL language (NATURAL by SoftwareAG). I'm having trouble comingup with a good algorithm to do this and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions.It is important that I abide by XML protocol, as if we are successful, wewill make XML the standard format for all portals into our system.Any input would be appreciated.Todd.
