Programming With XML for DB2, Part 4: Integrate Data From Different Data Sources in Your Web-Based DB2 Application

Walk through the steps for creating a sample IBM DB2 application that uses the XML model to integrate data from different data sources. Learn how to expose the database stored procedures as Web services so that they can be accessed through SOAP calls. Follow a Web-oriented architecture that assembles information kept behind different organization firewalls. This "Lego" approach to application architecture not only enables integration of diverse data sources, but also helps the user to rapidly assemble vertical applications. Once again, the user sees that the technology that makes all this possible is XML, and the best way to exploit it is the XML data model of programming.
