** 10/24 Update **
I noticed that in the original post that I did not indicate my [JAVA] section settings in my CFG file and thought that would help.
[JAVA]
DLL = D:sunj2re1.4.2_11binserverjvm.dll
;; since we use the java.endorsed.dirs option to override JDK 1.4
;; capability we don't need all the Xerces and Xlan jars specified
;; in the CLASSPATH
;;
CLASSPATH=D:sia782siebsrvrCLASSESSiebel.jar;D:sia782siebsrvrCLASSESSiebelJI_enu.jar
;;
;; Set the VMOPTIONS as required for endorsed dirs and debugging VMOPTIONS = -Djava.endorsed.dirs=D:sunjwsdp-2.0jaxplib;D:sunjwsdp-2.0jaxplibendorsed -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,address=4000
Quick news item to let everyone know that I am actively working on content to demonstrate how you can integrate a Java Business Service that provides a facade to JAXP capabilities from your Siebel enterprise. This is a useful capabilities since we sometimes need to work with XML at a "bits and bytes" level. When this is the case, there is no need to write custom parsers or other such code when you can extract data using XPath and the other capabilities associated with JAXP. Stay tuned for more specific information as it gets posted.
** Update ** Getting closer to making this work but I seem to have run into a JRE issue. The code seems to work just fine when run using JUnit tests or via a command line. However, when running as part of the JRE launched by Siebel it breaks down. More testing and debugging will be required to figure this out.
