Thats why I say its depends what you're doing. XML is not slow per se. A good native XML database (eXist) will have similar speed to relational database and better in cases where you are returning highly structured data. Accessing small flat XML files will also be quicker than accessing a...

Why you say XML is slow? It depends on what you are doing. There are big benefits to be had working with one data format throughout an application. With relational databases a lot of time and effort is spent mapping data to objects and then mapping those objects to something else. In terms of...

Make sure you specify the namespaces in the XSL:/SOAP-ENV:Envelope/SOAP-ENV:Body/namesp1:get_genes_by_pathwayResponse/return/itemOr if you wanted you could just do //item, but that will search every node and can be slow for large documents. Jon "I don't regret this, but I both rue and lament it.
