Book Description

Publication Date: 26 Jan 2001
XML: the perfect complement to Java in a total e–commerce solution.

Your Java programming knowledge will go a long way toward building an effective e–commerce site. XML is the missing piece, and Java Developer′s Guide to E–Commerce With XML and JSP gives you expert instruction in the techniques that unite these closely aligned technologies. Covering the latest Servlet and JSP APIs and the current XML standard, this book guides you through all the steps required to build and implement a cohesive, dynamic, and profitable site.

The enclosed CD contains a complete sample catalog in XML, along with the code you need to accomplish a wide variety of critical e–commerce tasks—editing the catalog, searching and presenting data, presenting and analyzing customer surveys, editing and presenting company news, and equipping the site with a full–featured shopping cart application.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fully-coded and descriptive book about XML, Java and JSP 9 Sep 2001
By Mark Bagnall (mark@mabagnall.freeserve.co.uk)
Format:Paperback
Java Developer's Guide to E-Commerce with XML and JSP is ideal for experienced Java programmers to set up an online shopping catalog. It has complete code listings and explains its reasoning well. It starts off with a quick explanation of XML before starting with the main programming section.

I recommend this book if you know some Java. I also recommend that you get a separate beginner's book to JSP if you have not encountered it before, as this book does not explain it in great depth before using the code.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ouydated. 8 Dec 2012
By O' Brien
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book was probably the business in it's day 10 years ago, but unfortunately apart from some very basic tips, there is very little here for even a beginner java programmer like myself. In it's defence however, I was aware of the age of the book as I got it for a very small used price.
So, no complaints really, it arrived on time and is in excellent condition. And a complete starter might find it useful.

2.0 out of 5 stars This book does not contain practical examples! 12 Feb 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
The authors through this book explain how XML, Java servlets (and sometimes JSPs) could be used together in applications like Shopping cart and News Bulletin board.

Though the book contains a lot of code, two things are disappointing. First, DOM is implicitly suggested as a preferred means for working with XML documents even in cases where simple SAX parsing would do. Secondly, JAXP 1.0 API's beta classes like XmlDocument are extensively used in the examples. Both these are not very useful in the real world scenarios.

Though the book gives an impression from the title that it will be using JSPs to generate the presentation layer, the examples heavily use servlets with "hard coded HTML" in them for this purpose.

I happen to have a copy of Benoit Machall's "Applied XML Solutions" with me with which I cannot help comparing this book with. Applied XML Solutions explains similar examples in a practical way with simpler code as well as using open source software and stabilized APIs to achieve the same results.

So, these are a few things to consider before buying this book!

1.0 out of 5 stars Lots of code that is not useful for real applications 19 Feb 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Though the book contains a lot of code, it becomes evident as you go through the book, that the author has not thought about using them in real world situations. All applications use DOM for XML parsing and Servlets for presentation of the content. A few JSPs are thrown in may be because the title says so!

Buy this book if you got a lot of money!

1.0 out of 5 stars A Monty Python guide to Java & XML 8 April 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Firstly the examples do not try to explain which code example they relate to on the CD rom. You have to distribute the code on the cd rom to paths on your web server, so unless you are already a dab hand at configuring a JSP server you cannot begin, the book doesn't help you with this, or anything else, in fact I would suggest the only people who may be able to decipher this book are expert professional Java programmers who must also have a knack for interpreting rambling babble. Avoid this book at all costs, talking of cost, cut to the Author - tropical beach - pina colada.
