Hit Integrates XML Transformer With BizTalk


By Christina M. Purpi
July 15, 2002 — 
Hit Software Inc. has released version 3.0 of Allora, its XML database transformation software, with enhanced control and the ability to integrate with Microsoft Corp.'s BizTalk Server.

Both jAllora, the Java version, and winAllora, the native Windows version, benefit from the new control features in version 3.0. "We added scripting into the product, which allows for more detailed control of the transformation process," said Martin Smith, vice president of sales and marketing at Hit (www.hitsw.com), adding that developers will now have finer control of the way in which the data is transformed based on external conditions. This encapsulates transformation logic within the external engine rather than having to do the data analysis logic decisions within the application, explained Smith.

Two other control features are included: dynamic parameter support, which, according to Smith, allows data to be requested from a database at runtime, so rather than retrieve an entire table, developers can retrieve the select pieces of the table as XML-formatted data; and XML predicate query support, which allows for the querying of data using XML elements and attributes rather than having to understand the database catalog.

The winAllora version also contains plug-ins for Microsoft's BizTalk Server that allow BizTalk to talk to any relational database and retrieve database information for different processes. "Prior to the integration with BizTalk, developers had to write their own SQL code. Now [transformations] can happen through the GUI interface of BizTalk," said Smith.

jAllora is currently available and costs $2,995 per developer license. winAllora will be available in August, carrying the same price tag.
