        Introduction</h1>
    <p>
        This document accompanies C# 1.6 release of the 'HandCoded Toolkit for FpML Processing'
        and describes the contents of the release area. The source code for this release
        is not included but is available from the SVN repository on SourceForge.</p>
    <h2>

    <h2>
        Directory Structure</h2>
    <p>
        The ZIP file that contained this release expands into a number of files and sub-directories.
        The following briefly describes the purpose of each.
    </p>
    <ul class="L1">
        <li>readme.html (The file you are reading) </li>
        <li>license.txt<br />
            <br />
            A copy of the license terms under which the toolkit is distributed. </li>
        <li>HandCoded.dll<br />
            <br />
            This file contains all compiled C# class files for the toolkit. </li>
        <li>log4net.dll<br />
            nunit.framework.dll<br />
            <br />
            Open Source libraries referenced by the Toolkit.</li>
        <li>Validate.exe<br />
            Validate.exe.config<br />
            <br />
            A command line based application that demonstrates the validation components of
            the toolkit.</li>
        <li>Validate*.bat<br />
            <br />
            Running these files will execute a simple batch validation of a selection of FpML
            examples. Some of the FpML examples published by ISDA contain mistakes and a few
            will output error messages.</li>
        <li>files-core &amp; files-fpml
            <br />
            Contains an XML catalog file (and its associated schema) used to resolve DTD system
            identifiers/schema namespace URIs to physical file locations and the business rule
            configuration file.<ul class="L2">
                <li>schemas<br />
                    <br />
                    Contains a subdirectory for each version of the FpML as well as the schema for digital
                    signatures. </li>
                <li>data<br />
                    <br />
                    A set of XML data files containing the scheme code values defined by FpML for each
                    release and a set of additional definitions for currency and country codes. </li>
                <li>examples<br />
                    <br />
                    A copy of the FpML example file for each schema release. Some may contain mistakes
                    as many have not been properly validated. </li>
                <li>test-cases<br />
                    <br />
                    A copy of the FpML validation test files for both valid and invalid case. It is
                    important to note some valid test cases still generate errors, just not the one
                    they are supposed to test.</li>
            </ul>
        </li>
    </ul>
    <h2>
        Example Applications</h2>
    <p>
        The toolkit is accompanied by some simple test scripts that demonstrates its functionality
        and performance.</p>
    <h3>
        Validation</h3>
    <p>
        The validation scripts (e.g. Validate1-0.bat, etc.) use a simple application (implemented
        as the class demo.com.handcoded.fpml.Validate) to process one or more XML files.
        Running one of the example batch files will process a small selection of FpML examples
        displaying the results to the screen.</p>
    <p>
        At the end of the run the program calculates the average processing &nbsp;time for
        each file and displays the number of rules tested against each file as shown below.</p>
    <pre>&gt;&gt; files/examples/fpml4-0/ird_ex26_fxnotional_swap_with_cfs.xml
&gt;&gt; files/examples/fpml4-0/ird_ex27_inverse_floater.xml
&gt;&gt; files/examples/fpml4-0/ird_ex28_bullet_payments.xml
&gt;&gt; files/examples/fpml4-0/msg_ex01_request_confirmation.xml
&gt;&gt; files/examples/fpml4-0/msg_ex02_trade_confirmed.xml
&gt;&gt; files/examples/fpml4-0/msg_ex03_portfolio.xml
&gt;&gt; files/examples/fpml4-0/td_ex01_simple_term_deposit.xml
&gt;&gt; files/examples/fpml4-0/td_ex02_term_deposit_w_settlement_etc.xml
== Processed 91 files in 1391 milliseconds
== 65.42056074766356 files/sec checking 219 rules</pre>
    <p>
        The application responds to a number of command line options and can be configured
        to test the FpML defined rules (e.g. excludes HandCoded rules including scheme value
        checking) or to use a more streamlined XML parsing technique that only supports
        schema based instances from FpML 4.0 or later. The default configuration is to process
        both DTD and schema based instances which is less efficient.</p>
    <p>
        Futures releases will add further demonstration applications.</p>
