DCA finished!

Posted by Michael Dale on Tue, 18 Oct 2005 8:10 PM

I have finished (although I still need to do a few minor touch ups) my DCA (DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING ARCHITECTURE) assignment. This was the online XML/JSP cd ordering system along with an XSD document. I have spent many hours on it.

I am now the XML guru, or something :p

I'll publish a link to it once I've handed it in.

XML guru serving XHTML 1.1 as text/html? :-P AvK would probably hang you! ;-)

Err... your blog messed up my markup. I had nested pre in code to make it format, but apparently it didn't like that and proceeded to add tags anyway.

document.write? The awstats tracker script? Someone has to have rewritten that thing with the DOM! Geeez... I can't find anything, so... maybe a post-HSC project. Or, you know, a pre-HSC-end project :P

Stuart: Is Illustrator and InDesign the reason your site is still down? Coz you just enjoy designing fancy holder pages? ;-)

XSD stands for XML Schema. It is like a template for what your XML document will look like. If your XML document falls outside the constraints of the XSD file it will fail validation.

XSD is useful for when you have multiple systems operated by different entities. The XSD file allows you to make sure the data you receive is correct.

XSL is used for defining the style/layout of the site. For this project XML is only used for backend services. I used standard XHTML for the website.

document.write? The awstats tracker script?

I don't remember what the problem was. I shall look into it though.
