ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses two connector components, the XML Connector and the Web Service Connector. Both components have a common duty, to receive or send data in the form of XML, which can then be further manipulated by connecting to other components. Both components are not visible on stage, since their only task is to process XML and connect to other components. Using the Web Service Connector component is similar to using the XML Connector component. XML data is received by the component and evaluated. The analysis of the XML file shows the data types, such as Array, String, and Integer or just Object. Web services can be created using the Web Service class and related classes such as the Pending Call or the Simple Object Access Protocol Call class.
