Product Description

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.X ML 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. 0201485435B04062001

a nice one to start though a bit oldie 11 Mar 2001

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

If you're looking for a first book about Java and Xml here you have a good one. It'd better used if you have previous knowledge of what XML is. It focuses mainly on IBM XML4J parser and now it's a bit oldie but throws some very interesting ideas.

I'd suggest to go with Java and Xml by Brett McLaughling after this one.

Perfect book for application architects, not for junior SE 22 Sep 1999

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

The title of the book clearly suggested that this is not a beginner's book for either XML or Java. Although it is more appropriately named XML and Java Servlet. Because this book uses Servlets as a framework for web applications (which is a *VERY* good idea). This book presents ideas to system architects about ways to put together enabled web applications whose nature implies extensibility. The most valuable thing in this book is: 1. Explain why do we want to use XML (Important!) 2. How to parse, generate, and manipulate XML with concise examples. 3. Ideas on types of applications we can do with XML and the Servlet framework. 4. How to build tools such as LMX and SQLX which is quite essential in three-tiered systems. 5. You can read it in 2 days provided you're pretty familiar with Servlets and web application.

Don't buy this book! 19 Aug 1999

Ok, I read the review and bought this book. Its woefully out of date and the examples need huge tweaking before they work.

If you are trying to learn XML find another book.

If you are planning to learn Java find another book.

If you are interested in servlets borrow this book and read chapter 7. Then give it back to the poor guy who bought it.

The coverage of XML itself is really poor. I was reading the XML specs and thought I'd get some help. Sorry no such luck. XML is show somewhat but no defns.

Want to use the DOM (Document Object Model). Sorry no such luck. Coverage it terrible. Want to use XSL? Sorry no coverage at all!

Want to use SAX? Get ready to try try try again!

ok. I'll give them some credit as english is clearly not there native language!

Great book (if it fits your expectations...) 9 April 2000

By Jan Van Bulck - Published on Amazon.com

Buy this book when:

(1) You want to learn how to integrate XML in your Internet/Intranet-based infrastructure. (The title mentions 'Web Applications'... do not expect the book to focus on 'Web Sites'. It's more about XML as a storage mechanism, the secure exchange of XML messages over HTTP,...) (2) You value the insight in how experienced developers model their application (using Design Patterns, reusability, etc) (3) A very readable book.

Do not buy this book when:

(1) You're looking for information the latest implementations of XML Parsers, XSL Transformers (the book was published before XSL became 'established'), XML database servers,etc. (2) You're looking for complete, useful applications you can re-use 'straight-out-of-the-box'. (3) You're looking for information on XML as a way to manage the content on your web side.
