3-tier (XML vs .NET)??

[hertshelp]

You're right, the question is wierd. I'm having a hard time getting my head around it..

I did find this which uses Uniface too send XML streams... Also, this paper which suggests using XML RIKA as the middleware.


But you have answered one of my queries already. XML is for something completely different..

So could you possible explain the best (most efficient) 3Tier structure for websites? Explaining the most effective role(s) for XML and its associated technologies (XSLT).. And the most effective partner for it inc. DB's and scripting langs.


I have been approached by an online shopping company who want me to brief them about how to use XML in Three Tier Architecture and the benefits associated with it.



Hope this clarifies just a little bit more... Don't give up on me lol, just trying to get to grips with it.
