XML and Java: Developing Web Applications is a tutorial that will teach Web developers, programmers, and system engineers how to create robust XML business applications for the Internet using the Java technology. The authors, a team of IBM XML experts, introduce the essentials of XML and Java development, from a review of basic concepts to thorough coverage of advanced techniques. Using a step-by-step approach, this book illustrates real-world implications of XML and Java technologies as they apply to Web applications. Readers should have a basic understanding of XML as well as experience in writing simple Java programs.

XML and Java enables you to:

• Develop Web business applications using XML and Java through real-world examples and code

• Quickly obtain XML programming skills

• Become familiar with Document Object Models (DOM) and the Simple API for XML (SAX)

• Understand the Electronic Document Interchange (EDI) system design using XML and Document Type Definition (DTD), including coverage on automating business-to-business message exchange

• Leverage JavaBean components

• Learn a hands-on, practical orientation to XML and Java

XML has strong support from industry giants such as IBM, Sun, Microsoft, and Netscape. Java, with its "write once, run anywhere" capabilities, is a natural companion to XML for building the revolutionary Internet applications described in this book. XML and Java demonstrates how developers can harness the power of these technologies to develop effective Web applications. If you want to learn Java-based solutions for implementing key XML features--including parsing, document generation, object tree manipulation, and document processing--there is no better resource than this book.

The accompanying CD-ROM contains extensive cross-platform sample code, plus the latest implementation of IBM's XML for the Java XML processor--fully licensed for commercial use.

One of the best Java/XML books on the market - 2003-08-14
Reviewer Rating:
Even if 9 different authors wrote this book, the logical flow remains intact and the writing style is consistent, clear and concise, without any redundancy. The authors provide plenty of well written, relevant code examples, almost to a level of a cookbook. I was very pleased to see some pretty advanced topics covered in details and, while the focus is on Xerces, JAXP get a good coverage too. In my opinion one of the best Java/XML books on the market

Excellent overview of advanced XML for Java developer - 2003-03-12
Reviewer Rating:
I found this book very useful, covers a lot of unique topics
in advanced XML processing, practical and to the point.
Especially enjoyed coverage of advantages and disadvantages
of different techniques.

Would be nice to cover these topics a bit deeper,
little more on architecture.
How about making 3rd edition 1000 pages,
maybe without CD-ROM, put code online
(any XML/Java developer has Internet access now).
And Websphere and DB2 getting outdated very quickly.

Get started fast with excellent code - 2002-12-10

This is the best XML/Java book I've seen to date. Why? It's well written. For example, unlike most books written by more than one or two authors, this book does *not* repeat a lot of material that an author previously addressed. The code contained in the book and on CD is well formatted and doesn't contain a lot of needless fat surrounding the meat; it get's right to the concept they're trying to relate.
I especially liked the chapters written by the lead author (Maruyama) and especially his XML Security chapters. Worth the money - just for the code.
Additionally, the code is well written - example, the import statements list each class; they don't use ".*;"

A perfect delivery from a perfect company - 2008-07-30

Next Time before I purchase the book I would like to know if the CD in company with the book will be included in the mail or not.
