[announce] XML Spy 4.3 Suite available - New SOAP debugger & XPath Analyzer

We are pleased to announce the release of XML Spy 4.3 Suite, available for download as a free trial, or as a free upgrade to current XML Spy 4.x customers.

The following is a summary of several key new features in XML Spy 4.3 Suite:

• New SOAP Debugger: acts as a web services proxy between a web services client and server, letting you inspect WSDL files, single-step through web services transactions, inspect every request and response XML document, set breakpoints on SOAP functions (either on the request or on the response), and even define conditional breakpoints that trigger if a certain request or response contains selected data that is specified by means of an XPath query. XML Spy 4.3 supports web services development and debugging on all of the major web services platforms including Java 2 Enterprise Edition and Microsoft .NET.
• New XPath Analyzer: Facilitates testing and debugging of XPath expressions for use in XSLT stylesheets or XML Schema Identity Constraints. The XPath Analyzer can be used in either Grid or Text Views to evaluate & visualize in real-time, the resulting node set of any XPath expression. If the result is a list of nodes, each node can be highlighted in the grid or text views simply by clicking on the node in the result list window.
• Authoring Support for JavaServer Pages and many other J2EE configuration files.
• Microsoft SQL Server 2000 SQLXML support: The XML Spy 4 IDE's schema editor now includes full development support for XML Schemas which include Microsoft SQLXML extensions, for use in mapping XML schemas to relational databases. SQLXML is a powerful technology which effectively bridges the gap between Extensible Markup Language (XML) and relational data by creating XML views of relational data, abstracting away the underlying data format.
