| OverviewXML 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.

This book proves that you don't have to master all the details of XML to utilize its power for real-world projects on the Web. After introducing XML and explaining its ability to standardize information exchange in corporate computing, the book turns to today's XML Java parsers, like XML for Java and the Simple API for Java (SAX), which greatly simplify XML development. Using these two APIs, the book shows how to parse an XML document. Next the authors demonstrate how to create an XML document from scratch as well as modify XML tree structures. They also present a mapping program, which translates XML data from one format to another. (This utility can be used to convert HTML to XML.) XML can be used to describe content, which the book terms as metacontent. A sample Java servlet listed in the book stores documents posted to a Web site, along with descriptions of its components. JDBC for database programming also receives coverage in an excellent example demonstrating how XML can be parsed into SQL queries and then translated back into other XML documents. The book also examines how XML exchanges information, principally as an alternative to the Electronic Document Interchange (EDI) format, and then rounds out with XML security, a JavaBeans component version of XML for Java, and a sample Web application that gathers XML content from several travel Web sites. An appendix lists all XML for Java APIs. In all, with its clear format and standout code examples, XML and Java is an appealing resource for Java developers approaching XML for the first time. --Richard Dragan |

Reader Reviews From Amazon (Ranked by 'Helpfulness') Average Customer Rating: based on 37 reviews. A perfect delivery from a perfect company, 2008-07-30 Reviewer rating: The product was delivered before schedule, was in perfect shape, and it exatly fit my needs for a reference in my thesis :) thanks Amazon! | The CD In Company With The Book Is Not Included, 2008-04-15 Reviewer rating: 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. | 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 Reviewer rating: 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 ".*;" |
