XM

New-car buyers usually get a free trial of Sirius XM's stations for up to a year, after which only about half decide to keep subscribing.

I devoted the previous two columns in the Working XML series to an old friend: XM, my easy-to-use document-publishing solution.

As discussed in last month's article, I realized I made a mistake releasing XM without some sort of graphical user interface.

With XM, it suffices to place your documents in one directory, your stylesheets in another, and, voila, you're ready to publish.

So far, the XM plug-in extends the platform with a fixed set of features -- the ability to process XML and XSLT files.

In the United States, people who want satellite radio programs can buy the services of the company Sirius XM.

I'll fix this aspect of XM in a future column, but until then I might as well avoid falling into the same trap with this project.

In a nutshell, the idea is to let XM generate XML documents on your behalf.

One of the main challenges in the first versions of XM is to make it approachable by nonprogrammers.

As I did with XM, the first project for this column, I now intend to move to another project for the next few months while field testing HC.

It manages a Run XM entry in the contextual (right-click) menu and was the original plug-in for Eclipse.

Take advantage of these excellent resources while you learn about the BeagleBoard-xM and your chosen operating system.

I welcome your input, too, so download a copy of XM and try it as you build your own site.

The only safe solution is to restyle the document whenever XM runs, thereby defeating the smart build.

Once you know this trick, it is not difficult to integrate it into XM.

I plan to field test XM further, and I hope to collect feedback from readers (that's you) as well.

I have been maintaining three different Web sites with the help of XM, and I have found that it performs adequately.

Although they are important, I believe the real value of XM is in the automatic content generation I've had in mind from the beginning.

More specifically, it suffers from a few limitations in the current (batch-centric) implementation of XM.

You can write Java code in the morning, PHP code in the early afternoon, and updates to a Web site with XM in late afternoon.

In the next installment, I'll start to focus on the the other major flaw in the XM user interface: the Eclipse build.

The new website, developed by XM Asia, roped in three partners: content partner ACP, publishers of Where and IS magazines; maps by WhereTo.

Even with this small set of features, XM has proved effective in limited testing for publishing actual Web sites.

Already a few readers have written to share their experience with XM, report bugs, and suggest improvements.

Because XM places style sheets in a completely separate directory, the processor will never find the index. xml documents.

Although XM is not as fast as it could be, it's fast enough for most normal operations.

Here's what I learned about XM and how it should develop: The user interface is the most urgent problem.

If you've already logged out of the BaseServer, regain access to it using xm console BaseServer.

The goal in this series is to prepare such a plug-in for XM.

Although I can think of many more improvements for XM, this month I add only one significant new feature.

After all, the plug-in aims to offer a more graphical interface than the original command-line interface that XM has had for a long time.

With that processor, XM will create XML files dynamically at publishing time.

The ladies went on Judith Regan's SIRIUS XM show to divulge the nips and tucks they've had over the years.

You may recall that XM, short for XSLT Make, was the first project introduced in the Working XML column.

If you forget exceptions, the two most useful classes in XM so far are Messenger and DirectoryWalker.

I could easily write similar plug-ins for XM to put together an XM IDE.

In practice, it may slow down XM dramatically, so I decided not to do it.

Since the path in xm: Directory is relative to the document's directory, WalkFilter needs the path to the document.

The plug-in reports problems with your XML documents or your stylesheets in the XM console.

The rationale behind the initial development of XM was to make XML and XSLT more approachable.

To verify, apply power to your BeagleBoard-xM, and type a key to stop the boot countdown.

XM introduces the Filename interface to abstract the notion of a file or resource.

This section complements the above discussion with a brief analysis of XM.

Work on the core XM engine is scheduled for the next two articles.

The original design of XM called for a separation of user interface and processing.

So please try XM with a Web site of your own.

So far the work on XM has involved basic publishing features.

This month our hardworking columnist adds support for multiple style sheets to the XM content-management project.

It takes only two parameters: the source directory, where the XML files reside; and the target directory which will be created by XM.

Follow the links to the CVS repository on developerWorks as well as to the ananas-discussion mailing list and the packaged version of XM.

XM is intended to help you in the early stages.

All in all, this design flaw is characteristic of most 5800 XM units.

Other plug-ins, such as the XM plug-in, are more specific and are installed by the user on an ad hoc basis.

The code I cover this month is no more than a skeleton for XM.

Since I originally published XM in this column, my company has used it to publish several sites we maintain.

XM uses the same rules and applies its own default style sheet instead of considering alternate style sheets.

I've signed up for the free three - day trial of XM's web service .

XM uses its own parser, PseudoAttributeTokenizer, to decode the pseudo-attributes.

XM builds static sites but uses software to automate the creation and maintenance of the most boring pages.

I conclude with a few tips on the XM plug-in.

For the time being, it makes more sense to run XM in batch every night.

Liberty plays down any possible synergies between its television interests and Sirius XM's radio channels.

XM was the first project of the "Working XML" column.

However, because XM works in batch mode, it uses a different strategy and simply ignores alternate style sheets.

Messenger is an interface that XM uses to report progress and errors to the user.

The first two versions of XM followed a one-size-fits-all strategy, which originally seemed a good idea but proved ineffective.

The wizard initializes an XM project, including the source, rules, and publish directories.

As explained previously, XM does not mix documents and style sheets.

More specifically, I'm looking to import an address list in a Web site maintained with XM.

XM renames the files as index. html and details. html respectively . . . thereby breaking the link.

It's been a long time since I last discussed XM in this column.

Yet my own experience with ananas. org, a site I maintain exclusively with XM, showed that my original plan just doesn't work well.

Since we could not feed the original document straight to XM, we settled with converting it to XML automatically.

The XM-25 grenade launcher is equipped with a laser rangefinder and on-board computer.

It just seems more logical to have XM fix the links automatically.

Again it is easier to let XM manage this for the style sheet.

The XM plug-in for Eclipse implements the webmaster desktop -- and when in batch mode, it also works on servers.

The proposed merger between XM and Sirius, announced in February 2007, was approved by the Justice Department.

For the last three months XM has slowly taken shape.

XM is an affordable solution for publishing Web sites with XML and XSLT.

The BeagleBoard-xM provides a female DB9 port and requires a serial cable to connect the console to your host system.

XM now has an option to ignore the external DTD of a document.

This feature is completely integrated with XM link management so all your links remain valid.

For the record, I publish the ananas. org Web site, referenced in Resources, with XM.

I still get e-mails from people who would like to use XM but are not comfortable with the command line.

When I was familiar with XML, I thought of a way to export the data as XML.

This was all done on an HS21 XM Blade, which is a two CPU quad core 2. 33 GHz system.

This was all done on an HS21 XM Blade, which is a two CPU quad core 2. 33 GHz system.

In my previous article, I also discusses how I plan to evolve the existing design to abstract XM from the file system.

Now you can edit XML documents with syntax highlighting, and publish them through XM.

Download XM and report your findings on the ananas-discussion mailing list.

So far I have tested XM with two Web sites, ananas. org and another site that is still under development.

I compromised by using a different extension (I chose . xm) for files with xm: Directory tags.

It seems a waste of resources to maintain two different classes that invoke XM.

This month's improvement to XM is the ability to compile file lists automatically.

The builder uses the proxy to send messages from XM to the progress monitor and the console.

The builder uses the proxy to send messages from XM to the progress monitor and the console.

Yet XM is not very efficient when processing these files.

Ultimately, I hope that XM can be accessible to nondevelopers who manage midsized Web sites.

The XM console should report on your change.

Follow the instructions on the Eclipse and XM Web sites to install the software.

In essence, XM is one possible user interface over TrAX.

He told me we were listening to Fred on 44, a channel on XM Satellite Radio.

With XM I'm hoping to make these technologies more approachable.

Remember that XM ignores alternate style sheets.

There are reasons to worry about Sirius XM's business model, says Tom Eagan of Collins Stewart, a stockbroker.

In the last year, I have been using XM for various projects and I have heard from readers as well.

That boring work is best left to computers and XM's directory reading.

Although I plan to integrate XM more tightly with Eclipse, I also want to retain the command-line option.

For XM, I chose to abstract the user interface and the resource manager.

Since XM mostly is a noninteractive process, I have defined no methods to prompt the user or otherwise accept input.

Although XM relies primarily on XML, it needs to work with other document types, such as images, office documents, and PDF files.

XMException XM throws this exception when it encounters an error.

The XM plug-in will need both preferences and properties.

I draw your attention to the fact that XM generates mostly static HTML pages.

Long-time readers will remember that Messenger is the interface XM uses to print messages.

I had introduced a similar class for XM in the org. ananas. util package.

From the outset I've organized XM around an extensible core.

In the dialog box that opens (see Figure 1), select ananas. org and XM Project, then click Next.

Since XM uses more style sheets, the caching logic has been improved.

Your entry point is the org. ananas. xm. Console class.

The second improvement to XM this month is the ability to handle non-XML files.

Once for regular XML file and once for XM-specific files.

I am currently maintaining two Web sites with XM: ananas. org and an internal one.

In the meantime, you can download and test the XM runner plug-in.

XM now fully supports the xsl: output element.

You can download and exercise the XM code already.

Brings along two problems that XM must avoid.

From the host terminal session, you can run xm console test0 to access a text console.

More seriously, though, I need to collect feedback on XM.

While I was working on XM, I fixed a few bugs and added an option to change file extensions.

Users hate the "404 - File Not Found" error, and XM must reduce those.

I have approached XM essentially as user interface development.

To port XM to other user interfaces, implement the interfaces such as Messenger (see the previous section) that abstract the user interface.

Note: If your BeagleBoard-xM is revision A3, you may need to download a different kernel.

I initiated XM because I was frustrated by the lack of simple solutions for XML publishing.

Since they are part of the archive, we simply link to them with XM directory reading.

Also last month I built two new Web sites with XM.

To change the filters, click the filter icon in the task list and in the problem list. Make sure that XM markers are selected.

This concludes the first release of XM.

In most cases, XM breaks links because it renames some files while applying the style sheet.

In upcoming articles, I will write more useful plug-ins for XM.

Here's a quick update on the status of XM.

I treat the project as a property because I want to give users a chance to add XM to any existing projects.

In my next column, I plan to write a wizard plug-in to initialize a new XM project.

You should first download the latest version of XM.

The latest XM also supports multiple style sheets, and it is easy to pass them parameters.

XM is also available as standalone software that is ideal for batch processing.

Liu XM, Chen Y, Wang XY, et al. Foodborne disease outbreaks in China from 1992 to 2001 national foodborne disease surveillance system.

Very early in the development of XM, I chose to banish configuration files.

The ideal solution, then, is to open the XM console and route error messages to it.

In this article, I will show you how to create a user interface for XM.

I have temporarily paused XM development in order to collect user feedback.

Therefore you can use XM to preprocess XML documents, for example, for bulk XML conversion.

Actual experience from using XM is very helpful in deciding how to change the software.

For example, I originally thought that XM would support only one style sheet.

To prepare this column, I used Eclipse 2. 1 and XM 0. 9.

The challenge is this: My company maintains the Web site of a working group with XML and XM, a publishing solution based on XML.
