by Ajay Vohra

Overview

Pro XML Development with Java Technology has been written to help you, the professional Java developer who needs a practical hands-on guide to marrying these technologies together effectively.

It covers all the essential XML topics, including XML Schemas, addressing of XML documents through XPath, transformation of XML documents using XSLT stylesheets, storage and retrieval of XML content in native XML and relational databases, web applications based on Ajax, and SOAP/HTTP and WSDL based Web Services. These XML topics are covered in he applied context of up-to-date Java technologies, including JAXP, JAXB, XMLBeans, and JAX-WS. You will find this book useful in building contemporary, service-oriented enterprise applications.

Editorial Reviews

From the reviews:

"This book is about XML development with the Java language, and the large number of examples makes it useful for developers of all levels. … It is really difficult to find drawbacks with this book since it covers all Java API extensible languages through commented examples. This is the XML development with Java reference book. It will help anyone learn all XML development aspects step by step. I highly recommended it."
