Abstract
An aspect of the present invention includes a method and device for translating a structured message into a context tagged, XML message. A two step translation is described, first including translation from structured message to structure tagged message, and then from structure tagged message to context tagged message. Standard tools may be used in the second step to apply validations or business logic. Particular aspects of the present invention are described in the claims, specification and drawings.
Claims15
A method of translating a data stream into a context-insensitive tagged XML message, including:
- receiving a data stream of structured messages, including context-setting messages and context-sensitive messages, said context-sensitive messages being meaningful only when matched with corresponding context-setting messages, said structured messages having one or more fields adapted to match the context-setting messages with the corresponding context-sensitive messages;
- tagging the structured messages with XML tags corresponding to the structure of the messages;
- matching the XML tagged context-setting messages with the corresponding XML tagged context-sensitive messages, utilizing the fields;
- and
- generating context-insensitive XML retagged messages, the context-insensitive XML retagged messages having XML tags corresponding to the context of the context-sensitive messages;
- and
- outputting the context-insensitive XML retagged messages.
