Building Xml Applications

May 6, 2010 by BPELforum

Product Description
Talk about a powerful marriage! (extensive Markup Language) is the hottest format for transferring data across the Web and other networks, and Java is the most potent programming language for developing secure, interactive Internet applications. Put them together, as this guide masterfully demonstrates, and the result is the happiest coupling on earth for creating the next generation of advanced Internet apps. Readers enjoy step-by-step guidance on building and implementing XML applications in Java, with real-world examples that span financial analysis, document management, and e-commerce.Amazon.com Review
With complete coverage of Extensible Markup Language (XML) and a focus on compatibility with the Java programming language tools, Building XML Applications by Simon St. Laurent and Ethan Cerami is a fitting choice for Java/XML developers.

Building XML Applications covers XML and its relationship to SGML and HTML (its Web markup language relatives). The book explores the power of XML as it relates to other key technologies, including relational databases, file systems, and object databases. Also illustrated is the symbiotic relationship XML will have with various information infrastructures.

This XML guide presents a step-by-step introduction to XML syntax. Well-formed documents are discussed in depth, and the guide explores available tools for helping you create Document Type Definitions (DTDs). It’s rare to find an XML book that covers cascading style sheets (CSS), and Web developers will benefit from coverage of the competing document style models–the more established CSS and the lesser used eXtensible Style Language (XSL)–as the transition from CSS to XSL becomes more likely to occur.

There are generous sections on XML parsers with complete coverage of the /ELFRED and Microsoft parsers, as well as the Simple API for XML (SAX). Six real-world examples are provided, making this book appropriate for budding XML coders using both Java applets and full applications. With a good balance of foundational material and sample code, this title offers a well-rounded introduction to Java/XML application development. –Stephen W. Plain

XML by Example: Building E-Commerce Applications

May 5, 2010 by BPELforum

Product Description
Demonstrates XML’s powerful E-commerce capabilities by walking you through the construction of a real-world catalog application, start to finish. CD-ROM included. Paper. DLC: XML (Document markup language). Amazon.com Review
Sean McGrath makes understanding XML simple by gently easing his readers into the topic. His overview discusses what XML is and how it differs philosophically from HTML without competing with it. This introduction shows why XML is generating such excitement and how it will be of great importance to electronic commerce.

Next, McGrath demonstrates XML in action in an electronic-commerce environment. His conversational style leads the reader through what could be very dry topics, such as publishing databases with XML or using Channel Definition Format (CDF) to create a push-publishing channel. His friendly tone is all the handier in the section that examines XML and related standards.

The final section looks at three e-commerce initiatives based on XML–Open Financial Exchange, Electronic Data Exchange, and Open Trading Protocol. An enclosed CD-ROM contains an excellent collection of XML e-commerce development tools and useful reference material. The book’s editor, Charles Goldfarb, is the developer of SGML, the parent mark-up language upon which XML is based. –Elizabeth Lewis

Cocoon: Building XML Applications

May 4, 2010 by BPELforum

Product Description
Cocoon: Building XML Applications is the guide to the Apache Cocoon project. The book contains the much needed documentation on the Cocoon project, but it does not limit itself to just being a developer’s handbook. The book motivates the use of XML and XML software (in particular open source software). It contains everything a beginner needs to get going with Cocoon as well as the detailed information a developer needs to develop new and exciting components to extend the XML publishing framework. Although each chapter builds upon the previous ones, the book is designed so that the chapters can also be read as individual guides to the topics they discuss. Varied “hands-on” examples are used to make the underlying concepts and technologies absolutely clear to anyone starting out with Cocoon. Chapters that detail the author’s experience in building Internet applications are used to embed Cocoon into the “real world” and complete the picture. [md]Matthew Langham and Carsten Ziegeler

Building Web Applications with ADO.NET and XML Web Services

May 1, 2010 by BPELforum

Product Description
Learn how to build a data-intensive Web application with XML Web services and ADO.NET!
Richard Hundhausen, Steven Borg, Cole Francis, and Kenneth Wilcox have combined their years of expertise in this invaluable resource to teach you how a typical wired business can leverage Web services in B2B commerce. Using a case study, the authors walk you step by step through how to take advantage of new technologies in .NET, such as ADO, ASP, and SOAP, to create XML Web services. They start with a discussion of a Web services provider case study, including the analysis, design, construction, registration, and deployment of the Web service. You’ll then learn about the conceptual design of a system and receive an introduction to Object Role Modeling (ORM). Packed with useful information, the chapters also dive into topics such as:
* Database design, covering the implementation of the physical design in Microsoft SQL Server 2000
* Syntax and attributes used to code a Web service, including proper testing techniques
* The benefits of using the Universal Description Discovery and Integration (UDDI) framework
* Security-both the traditional mechanisms provided by IIS and new ones provided by ASP.NET
* Web service performance testing and tuning
The companion Web site includes the complete case study application and code used in the book.
