Mapping between native data type instances
First Claim
1. A method of mapping a first native data type instance to a second native data type instance, comprising:
- converting the first native data type instance into a first programming language and platform independent representation conforming to a first schema capable of defining base and derived data types;
transforming said first programming language and platform independent representation into a second programming language and platform independent representation conforming to a second schema capable of defining base and derived data types; and
further converting said second programming language and platform independent representation into said second native data type instance.

Abstract
Mapping of a first native data type instance to a second native data type instance is performed in three stages: the first native data type instance is converted into a first programming language and platform independent representation conforming to a first schema capable of defining base and derived data types; the first programming language and platform independent representation is transformed into a second programming language and platform independent representation conforming to a second schema capable of defining base and derived data types; and the second programming language and platform independent representation is converted into the second native data type instance. The programming language and platform independent representations may be event-based extensible Markup Language (XML) representations implemented according to the Simple API for XML (SAX). The transformation may be governed by an extensible Stylesheet Language Transform (XSLT) stylesheet.

10. A method of generating a single set of document parsing events from a plurality of sets of document parsing events, comprising:
-
receiving said plurality of sets of document parsing events, said plurality of sets including a plurality of start document events and a plurality of end document events;
firing a leading start document event;
firing the events of said received plurality of sets of document parsing events that are not start document events or end document events; and
firing a trailing end document event. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12)

15. A computer program product having media including computer programmed instructions for directing a computing device to implement a software component representative of a Web service message having one or more parts, said software component comprising:
for each of said parts;
a first software component adapted to convert the part into a programming language and platform independent representation of the part; and
a second software component adapted to convert said programming language and platform independent representation of the part into said part. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
