5.2.1 Processing XML documents

There are two ways in which XML documents can be processed with the z/TPF XML API.

The first approach is for incoming SOAP messages where the XML document is being

passed through the B2B XML scanner by the SOAP communications binding and the

resulting infoNodes structure is passed on to the application. In this case the z/TPF XML API

is first initialized with the infoNodes structure, and then the other API functions can be used to

process the XML document content. The code fragment in Example 5-4 shows the overall

approach.
