Bugzilla XML RPC Interface Bug Lets Remote Users Create Confirmed Bugs: related news

Bugzilla XML-RPC Interface Bug Lets Remote Users Create Confirmed Bugs

Description: A vulnerability was reported in Bugzilla. A remote authenticated user can create confirmed bug reports.

Scala and XML: XML processing made easy

Scala is a popular new programming language that runs on the Java™ Virtual Machine (JVM.) Scala compiles into byte-code and thus it can leverage the Java programming language. Its syntax, however, makes it a powerful alternative to Java code in certain scenarios. One of those scenarios is XML processing. Scala lets you navigate and process parsed XML in several ways. It also has first class support for XML built right in, so you don't need to create strings of XML or programmatically build DOM trees. In this article, you will see these aspects of Scala in action and see how Scala can make working with XML a joy to do.

Last Call: XML Linking Language (XLink) Version 1.1

The XML Core Working Group has published the Last Call Working Draft of XML Linking Language (XLink) Version 1.1. This specification defines the XML Linking Language (XLink) Version 1.1, which allows elements to be inserted into XML documents in order to create and describe links between resources. It uses XML syntax to create structures that can describe links similar to the simple unidirectional hyperlinks of today's HTML, as well as more sophisticated links. Comments are welcome through 16 May. Learn more about the Extensible Markup Language (XML) Activity.

Working with XML Data Using LINQ, a TreeView, and a ListView :: Displaying Data

With more and more data being stored in XML, web applications today commonly need some way to view and edit the data stored in an XML file from a web page interface. If the XML data is relatively "flat" and tabular in nature, we can use data Web controls like the DataGrid, GridView, and Repeater. (See Quickly Editing XML Data for an example of editing XML data through a DataGrid control.) But what if the XML data is more hierarchical and in a less tabular format? Consider a company-wide phone book, which is recursively structured into branches and departments, subdepartments, and so forth. How can this XML data, which can have any number of nodes and any level of children, be displayed and edited through a web page? More...

XProc: An XML Pipeline Language Draft Published

The XML Processing Model Working Group has published a Working Draft of XProc: An XML Pipeline Language. This specification describes the syntax and semantics of XProc: An XML Pipeline Language, a language for describing operations to be performed on XML documents. Pipelines are made up of simple steps which perform atomic operations on XML documents and constructs similar to conditionals, iteration, and exception handlers, which control which steps are executed. The status section of the document lists the most important changes since the previous draft. Learn more about the Extensible Markup Language (XML) Activity.

Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Format 1.0

The Efficient XML Interchange Working Group has published a Working Draft of Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Format 1.0. This document is the specification of the Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) format. EXI is a very compact representation for the Extensible Markup Language (XML) Information Set that is intended to simultaneously optimize performance and the utilization of computational resources. The EXI format uses a hybrid approach drawn from the information and formal language theories, plus practical techniques verified by measurements, for entropy encoding XML information. Using a relatively simple algorithm, which is amenable to fast and compact implementation, and a small set of data types, it reliably produces efficient encodings of XML event streams.

Last Call: Basic XML Schema Patterns for Databinding Version 1.0

The XML Schema Patterns for Databinding Working Group has published two documents: the Last Call Working Draft of Basic XML Schema Patterns for Databinding Version 1.0 and an ordinary Working Draft of Advanced XML Schema Patterns for Databinding Version 1.0. The first specification provides a set of basic XML Schema 1.0 patterns known to be interoperable between state of the art databinding implementations.The patterns may be used to describe XML 1.0 representations of commonly used data structures. Last Call comments are welcome through 30 April. The second specification provides a set of commonly used XML Schema 1.0 patterns known to cause issues with some state of the art databinding implementations.

Retrieve XML data values with XQuery in SQL Server 2005

When Microsoft released SQL Server 2005, it introduced a new data type: XML. As with other SQL Server data types, you can use the XML data type to define columns, variables and parameters for stored procedures and user-defined functions, and you can access XML data in its entirety -- that is, as a single value -- just like you would an XML document. However, as is the case with an XML document, there might be times when you want to access only specific values within the XML data. And that's where XQuery comes in.

Understanding XML

The previous issue of this magazine contained many articles about how to exploit the new XML data management capabilities delivered by DB2 9 for Linux, Unix, and Windows. This issue's article by Craig Mullins describes the new and improved XML support in DB2 9 for z/OS (now in beta). But some of you may not be ready to use DB2 9’s XML-related features, either because you’re not certain what XML is to begin with, or because you may not see a connection between DB2 9’s capabilities and your organization’s needs. You are the people I have in mind as I write this column. I want you to understand XML concepts and lingo, and I want you to see that XML almost certainly is — or soon will be — important to your organization.

Microsoft releases the Open XML Format SDK April CTP

Earlier this month, Microsoft's Office Open XML received the official seal of approval from the ISO. Soon after, the standardization body took control of the standard. Nevertheless, as the SDK roadmap shows, Microsoft still has a lot of work to do. Microsoft's main task is the development and maintenance of the Open XML Format SDK (previously known as "Microsoft SDK for Open XML Formats"), which supports developers that need to manipulate Open XML packages. The full SDK also contains how-to articles and reference documentation for Open XML programming.
