Charlie, the answer to your question is either DataMirror DB/XML Transform or
DataMirror Transformation Server for XML. DB/XML Transform provides you with a
powerful and embeddable engine and user interface for bi-directional data
transformation between EDI, XML (including ebXML), database and text formats.
DataMirror Transformation Server for XML provides real-time XML (including
ebXML) feeds from/to databases and application servers or message queues.
More information is available on our website if you wish to investigate it
further ( www.datamirror.com). Of course, you are more than welcome to send me
an e-mail offline if you wish to discuss further or have specific questions.
John Vandermay,
DataMirror Corporation.

Subject: [ebxml-dev] Off-the-shelf ebXML software packages
Hi,
I am rather new to ebXML, and hence to this list. I have been doing my
personal study on how the ebXML standards will manifest themselves in the
market/industry. I haven't been able to find much useful stuff that shows the
adoption roadmap for end-users, and how vendors will lead the way in the roadmap
(most news article merely describe what ebXML is). Hence, I am hoping this list
will guide me a bit.
These are my questions :
1) What is the likely adoption roadmap intended by the ebXML creators ?
Is it cheaply available, interoperable, off-the-shelf ebXML software packages,
by which the users can choose during installation-time the components they want
by selecting options ? or are they expensive heavy-weight "engines" that
requires plenty of customization (like how BizTALK is customised for RosettaNet)
?
I suspect and hope that it is the off-the-shelf packages are more applicable to
ebXML, given that it is supposed to be within SMEs' reach.
2) If off-the-shelf packages are the way to go, why haven't I be able to locate
any news of impending releases, for it has been half a year since the
finalisation of ebXML? Are they any releases on their way, and how soon ? At
what price range too (even as cheap as <1000 USD)?
Many thanks if you can help me...
Charlie Ang
