Hi,
For Speed : DOM is the Best.
But If there is a memory constraint then we have to choose SAX.
Over all
Dom - speed
SAX - Limited Memory Use.
Thanks,
Shakthy,

Hello Don & Dan,
So, what's the conclusion for Meta language?
Is Meta language & metamarkup language r one & the same or Different?
Acc to XML Nutshell

XML is a metamarkup language. That means it doesn't have a fixed set of tags and elements that are supposed to work for everybody in all areas of interest for all time. Any attempt to create a finite set of such tags is doomed to failure.

Can anyone explain Meta language?
I have to take the test on saturaday,so plz answer all the questions i have asked b4.
I greatly appreciate all of ur help,
Shakthy.

Hello there,
This question is discussed in the previous posts but they were not clear to me
1.Documents with Processing instruction can be handled by SAX or not?
True or false.
I think its "true"
If "false" why?
2.
28. XML rendering is appropriate for:
I. generation of web pages and HTML output.
II. composition for electronic publishing to print media.
III. interchange of information with pervasive computing devices.
A. I and II only
B. I and III only
C. II and III only
D. I, II and III
Answer is "d" But i would say "b"
Different mock exams r telling different statements abt this questions.Plz clarify this.
32. Which of the following should NOT be relied upon to locate information of interest when querying an XML document?
A. The element type of an element
B. An attribute value specified on an element start tag
C. A processing instruction contained by the element of interest
D. Comments on the element declaration for the element of interest
The answer is "d",but my naswer is C & D.
why c : PI r for Application it should contain xml data(By Ajith KALAMBELLA)
Thanks in advance,
shakthy.

Hi there,
2. For meta Language question choose all the correct answer?
How come XML is not a meta language while SGML is.

Thanks Guys,
What abt question : 4 & 6.
Sorry 2 more questions :
1.If multiple declaration has been declared for the same elt. then which one get selected.As per mock exam "last" one get declared bcoz non-validating parsers do like that.
Is this correct?
2. What if there is 2 attlist ?
then i think second declaration get merged with the first one.Am i correct or not?
Is there any special cases in this?
3.Might be simple :
"Number("99 abcd")" what is the o/p?
True or false ?

Shakthy.

Hi there,

Could anyone plz help me with these questions?
I found that from various mock exams.

1.How many Itemname elts will be outputed when this style sheet is applied?
The instant doc. :
<Itemslist> <Item supplier="vinay"> <Itemname code ="m1">Mouse</Itemname> <Itemname code ="m2">Mouse</Itemname> <Itemname code ="k1">Keybrd</Itemname> </Item> <Item supplier="vijay"> <Itemname code ="m1">Mouse</Itemname> <Itemname code ="m2">Keybrd</Itemname> <Itemname code ="k2">Keybrd</Itemname> <Itemname code ="k1">Keybrd</Itemname> </Item> </Itemslist> The stylesheet : <xsl :-o utput indent="yes"/> <xsl:key name = "kcodename" match = "Itemname" use = "concat(@code,'::',')"/> <xsl:template match = "/"> <Itemlist> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match = "text()"> <xsl:template match=Itemname[count(.|key('kcodevalue',concat(@code,'::',.))[1]) = 1]"> <xsl:copy-of select = "."> </xsl:template>
The output is 5.But I would say it's 3 is there anyone to explain how 5 is correct?
2.How many elts will be outputed when this style sheet is applied?
The instant Doc.
root <b> <a>1 </a> <a>2 </a> <a>1 </a> <x>3 </x> <x>4 </x> <x>2 </x> </b> <b> <a>3 </a> <a>1 </a> <a>2 </a> <a>3 </a> <x>5 </x> <x>4 </x> <x>1 </x> </b> The stylesheet : <xsl:template match ="/"> <xsl:element name = "'root"> <xsl:call-template name = "v3"> </xsl:element> </xsl:template> <xsl:template name ="v3"> <xsl:variable name = "v3list" select = "//a[not(following::x = .)] | //x[not(preceding::a = .)]"/> <a> <xsl:for-each select = "." /></a> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template>
The output is 7.
Plz explain that. Iam not sure how it is!

3. whether comments can be nested or not?

<!-- Iam fine so far "[ <!-- But not now -->] " oops -->
wellformed or not?
4. In "Redefine" if the invoking schema overrides the imported one then
the new definition get replaced or reflected everywhere (ie. old one get replaced)

My question is:

Shall we override the element which is set to "restriction|extension|all" using redefine?
Is it possible?

5.How binary data can be added to XML documents ?
6. here is the MYDTD.DTD : ( whizlabs)
<!Element test(x,y)> <!Element x Any> <!Element y(#PCDATA | z)*> <!Element z EMPTY> <!ATTLIST z valid (true|false) #IMPLIED> Is this a valid document ? <?xml version="1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE x SYSTEM "MYDTD.dtd"> <x> <y>sample</y> <test> <x/> <y> <z/> </y> </test> </x>
The Answer is " YES"

I said "NO"
Why : First of all the root node should be the Doctype elt ? here it's "x".
Do anyone explain me how this is a valid document ?
Thanks
Shakthy

HI there,
I prepared some list (for my use), describing Merits & demerits of DOM & SAX. If iam wrong somewhere plz correct me. If i missed anything add to that
SAX 1.Limited Memory use 2.Sequential manner. 3. Standard fns not available User have to write the codings 4. In Case of restructuring of Documents not useful 5.Places where SAX it might be useful a. Document is huge but there is a Constraint for Memory b. To retrieve a specific value or frequent access of particular value c. creating a subset of Document. d.Not suitable for speed constraint. 6.Sorting Not possible 7. If internal cross reference like ID & IDREF used in data then Not suitable 8. Complex searches difficult in SAX 9. suitable for Machine readable data 10.Can read But cant write Documents.

1. Needs lot of memory 2. Reads in Hierachial manner 3. Std Functions available 4. In case of restructuring of Documents 5. Places DOM where it might be useful a. TO modify a document. b. For random access c. Huge amount of Document but there is constraint for memory or speed d.If Speed is the constraint DOM is the best 6. Sorting possible 7. If internal cross reference like ID & IDREF used in data then DOM is the best 8. Complex searches not difficult in DOM 9. Not suitable for Machine readable data 10.Can Read & write documents
Thanks
Shakthy.
