DESCRIPTION:
'Was I impressed with this book? Indeed I was! The content is both timely and accurate, the reading is easy and enjoyable - a very rare achievement.' Java Desk, Israel (Java User Group)
Java & XML shows how to use the APIs, tools, and tricks of XML to build real-world applications, with the end result that both the data and the code are portable.This second edition of Java & XML adds chapters on Advanced SAX and Advanced DOM, new chapters on SOAP and data binding, and new examples throughout. Java developers who need to work with XML, or think that they will in the future--as well as developers involved in the new peer-to-peer movement, messaging, or web services--will find the new Java & XML a constant companion.This book covers:The basics of XML, including DTDs, namespaces, XML Schema, XPath, and XSLThe SAX API, including all handlers, the SAX 2 extensions, filters, and writersThe DOM API, including DOM Level 2, Level 3, and the Traversal, Range, CSS, Events, and HTML modules.The JDOM API, including the core, a look at XPath support, and JDOM as a JSRUsing web publishing frameworks like Apache CocoonDeveloping applications with XML-RPCUsing SOAP and UDDI for web servicesData Binding, using both DTDs and XML Schema for constraintsBuilding business-to-business applications with XMLBuilding information channels with RSS and dynamic content with XSPIncludes a quick reference on SAX 2.0, DOM Level 2, and JDOM.. A concise chapter on XML basics intr
Eric R. Dunstan said Awesome coverage of JDOM and XML-RPC. This book covers JDOM and XML-RPC very well, with links for downloading the neccessary material and documentation for developing in JDOM or XML-RPC right away.It's JDOM coverage is very well laid out, as the author is one of the developers of JDOM. JDOM, if you don't know, is a Java implementation of an XML-Document that is completely self contained, and can use any XML parser. The drawback in using JDOM is that it may be slower in loading becuase it must load the entire xml document in memory. XML-RPC is faater, using SAX.As for its XML-RPC, (Remote Procedure Calling) coverage, this book prov. Pleasant, but flakey This book is great if you know something about XML and Java. For true beginners, well, it's a stretch. It also starts to show its age, and furthermore, its supporting website - both on the author's web server and O'Reilly's own servers, is sketchy. You will rely on both to use the code mentioned in the book.Otherwise, it is just an unremarkable information piece about Java and XML.. Should be more careful about I18N Kung, Chi-Chang The author has done a great job. This book covers a wide range of XML topics with a very consise writing style. Also, it is a nice balance that the author spends more pages on XML parsing than other topics, since parsing is indeed by far the most useful technology.However, the book could have been more careful about I18N, especially in the sample codes. As XML is no doubt a hot topic globally, numerous XML documents are processed every day. Although Java is based on Unicode, software almost always need to be retrofitted when expanding into the global market. Therefore, instead of new FileInput
