Unlike the Unix® world, where configuration files are usually text files with either tab-delimited name/value pairs or colon-separated fields, configuration files in the open source world are often XML documents. Most well-known application servers also use XML-based configuration files. The Ant utility relies on XML-based files for defining tasks. Data Integration A tremendous amount of ...
