This is just the kind of application which XML is designed for. You should be able to use XSL Transforms (XSLT) in the way you describe to translate from one XML vocabulary (DTD) to another. You will find the specification for the XSLT language at http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xslt. One implementation of XSLT written in Java is available from IBM alphaworks, http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/LotusXSL. To translate XML to/from binary formats or other non-XML formats you can write programs which parse the XML and output the appropriate data in the appropriate form. XML parsers for Java and C++ are available from http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/. Those parsers support both a tree interface (DOM - http://w3c.org/DOM/) and streaming interface (SAX - http://www.megginson.com/SAX/index.html). TeXML, at http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/texml translates XML to the TeX typesetting language. It contains Java source, and can serve as one example of translating XML to another non-xml format. You may also be interested in investigating James Clark's XML parser, "XP" and XSL Transformer, "XT" at http://www.jclark.com/xml/.

I work for DG Bank in Frankfurt. Currently we are working on a Trading Floor Architecture which integrates all aspects of trading within the bank. We have created a centralized object (a DTD) which describes a trade. What we want to do is to use XSL to translate messages to/from the various applications from/to an XML document. I am pretty sure that we can accomplish only one side of this with XSL, but I wanted to solicit responses from this group. Further, I want to be able to give a description of this centralized object to a business analyst familiar with the application to be integrated and a tool which allows him/her to build a data mapping to/from the centralized object from the data format of the given application. Is there any knowledge of a tool(s) which can help me down this path. I appreciate greatly any and all responses.
