Product Description

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. There are a lot of books out there, but none really explore the combination deeply, and they are largely theoretical. The main objective here was to consolidate the theory and practice of XML and Java technologies in a single, up-to-date source, that is firmly grounded in underlying XML concepts, and can be consulted time and again to rapidly speed up enterprise application development!

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.

author's sarcastic language mocks "idiot-reader" - Reviewed on 2008-05-05

Information in the book is great.

Author's sarcastic tone of voice often mocks/belittles the 'dumb reader'

"We will not describe this schema definition in great detail. By now, you should be familiar with schema constructs; if you need to review this material, please refer to Chapter 1." pg. 375(ch 14)

Good book on XML with Java - Reviewed on 2007-05-03

1 customer found this review helpful.

This is a very decent book on XML with Java. Lots of examples and it is pretty well organized. Good coverage of SAX, StAX and JAXB. Be aware that if you are looking for in depth coverage of XSLT or XPATH this is not the book ( and doesn't purport to be). Although examples are for Eclipse IDE I was not fazed by this at all and readily translated them to my IDE.
Get java & XML instead - Reviewed on 2007-01-29

3 customers found this review helpful, 3 did not.

This book is titled 'THE EXPERT VOICE IN JAVA TECHNOLOGY'. But this book is full of something like how to use eclipse(window pictures in many pages), which most of experienced programmers already know. It repeats this again and again. Another book 'Java & XML ' is much better than this one.
Handy Book to Have - Reviewed on 2006-12-31

This book covers all important details of XML technology for use in Java.
Although all this information exists in various fragments elsewhere, this
book does an excellent job of bringing a lot of technology together in a
simple to use, step-by-step description.

This is great book to have if you use java on a regular basis but have
been hesitating to use the XML alphabet soup. This book is a must-have.
A must for Java or JEE Developers and Architects - Reviewed on 2006-12-30
* * * * *

This book discusses technologies that a Java/JEE developer would use on a regular basis. It keeps it real by providing sample code and discussing the concepts at a technical level unlike other books that bombard you with buzzwords and jargon.

I keep the included sample projects mounted in Eclipse all the time. I found myself copying and pasting from these samples into my own programs. I do this not only for APIs that I am learning but also with APIs that I am pretty familiar with. I do this to save time as I won't have to lookup javadoc or other internet resources.

I have worked as a J2EE Architect and am now working as a Web Services Architect. As part of my job I frequently develop documentation on concepts discussed in this book for providing guidance to my developers. Now all I do is, I give them this book and refer them to a relevant chapters.

In short this is the only book I need for all my XML development needs. A must have in any Java/JEE developer's bookshelf.
