What Not To Do
The following:
- Don't expect the elements returned as part of the <TBMData> structure to be presented in any particular order, just in the correct nesting. If you're planning to use SAX, beware of references within news <Article> elements.
-
Don't send the <TBMDataRequest>
as non-valid XML. The TBXDS engine won't respond
to malformatted XML requests, ever. Hence,
- use correct nesting
- don't forget the final '/' in single tags
- don't forget matching quotes around attribute values
- Do not use any redirecting while sending requests. In particular, do not use TBXDS for displaying live quotes on a website. The TBXDS service is intended to be used on a batch level, and not for live updates.
- The TBXDS system is not intended to be used in combination with XSL transformations for presentation purposes; it's a data replication service, nothing more. XSL could be used to transform the data to an XML format more suited for your particular application - but beware that this transformation is inherently slow and eats a lot of memory.
