What a poor way to approach this. XML and Java are orthogonal by most
measures. Sun fighting XML is like MS fighting Java.
What he should be doing is identifying certain applications where it
makes sense to embed Java in standard ways to enrich XML. Business
rules for instance, or true validation constraints (not the feeble
attempt in DTD's). (2.5 years ago I architected an XML/rule engine
based system with OO object/rule inheritance and transactional rule
engine processing for web servers. We bought instead to get the project
done quickly, but the COTS was a poor fit.)
You just know that MS will have VB scripting in XML files any time now,
if it's not there already.
