Details about the sessions can be found in <a href="http://eon.businesswire.com/releases/microsoft/interoperability/prweb567027.htm">the press release</a>. </p><p>It is going to be a great collection of sessions and I really encourage folks to attend this intimate conference to get the low down on what is happening at the core of the XML community. I am really hoping to get a broad and diverse group of folks to come and talk real-world interoperability on the web, in the document realm, and in the enterprise; this is why we are inviting folks from Yahoo!, Zend, Novell and others to join us. I hope you can too. </p><p>I will update you here as soon as we have more speaker names that we can announce…</p><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=5935195" width="1" height="1">eventsOpen XMLcommunityTech InteropJavahttp://blogs.msdn.com/craig/archive/2007/05/31/java-open-xml-api-project-officially-launched.aspxThu, 31 May 2007 23:19:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:3012553craigkitterman1http://blogs.msdn.com/craig/comments/3012553.aspxhttp://blogs.msdn.com/craig/commentrss.aspx?PostID=3012553http://blogs.msdn.com/craig/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=3012553<P>The Java API library project started by <A href="http://blogs.developpeur.org/neodante/default.aspx" mce_href="http://blogs.developpeur.org/neodante/default.aspx">Julien Chable</A> (<A class="" title=Wygwam href="http://www.wygwam.com/" mce_href="http://www.wygwam.com/">Wygwam</A> France) has officially launched at <A href="http://www.openxml4j.org/" mce_href="http://www.openxml4j.org">http://www.openxml4j.org</A>. Java developers now have a nice set of methods which will allow them to create rich Open XML documents for consumption by office productivity software or line of business systems in far fewer lines of code. </P> <P>This is a great demonstration of the cross-language and cross-platform capabilities of the Open XML format. I have already seen a few great solutions implemented in Java that enable the use of custom schemas in Open XML to move data between nodes in a value chain, consuming and manipulating this custom business data inside and outside of traditional office document editing systems. </P> <P>Nice work Julien! I look forward to the continued improvement and evolution as the Java community embraces these APIs.</P><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=3012553" width="1" height="1">interoperabilityOpen XMLcommunityTech InteropJava
