Introduction to synchronizing with XML tutorial

This tutorial shows you how to implement MobiLink direct row handling so that you can use a data source other than a supported consolidated data source. This tutorial uses a Java implementation as an example.

You can use direct row handling to communicate remote data to any central data source, application, or web service.

For more information about direct row handling, see Direct row handling.
