About the Sun ONE ASP XML Control

The Sun ONE ASP XML control is a Java package with interfaces that correspond to COM interfaces in the MSXML 1.0 DOM implementation. The package is named com.sun.msxml and does not need to be registered. The following is provided for each interface in the Microsoft DOM 1.0 implementation:

A corresponding interface in the com.sun.msxml package that extends an org.w3c.dom interface and may include Microsoft-specific methods not found in the base interfaces.

An implementation of each interface in the Microsoft package. Not all Microsoft-specific properties and methods are implemented in the Sun ONE ASP XML control. Some methods not contained in org.w3c.dom may throw FeatureNotImplemented exceptions. Others may silently fail, allowing ASP pages that invoke them to run without error. The behavior of each interface member with a corresponding method in the W3C specification for DOM parsers is determined by the W3C specification, without regard to the behavior of the Microsoft DOM parser. The behavior of Microsoft-specific methods corresponds as closely as possible to the behavior of the methods in the Microsoft software.
