+                            favorite web browser.  This interface is capable of communicating

+                            <a href="xml-client.html">XML</a> depending on the needs of the client.

+                            <a href="java-client.html">Java client</a> is also provided which
+                            allows the user to make use of the Instrument features using an
+                            optimum GUI environment.  Behind the scenes, this client uses XML
+                            on top of the HTTP connector to communicate with the application.

+                            an application.   The Instrument package provides a very light weight
+                            and simple <a href="component.html">API</a> which makes it possible
+                            to very quickly instrument most components.  The API has been

+                            even in contexts which do not support the Instrumentation features.
