This book is the definitive XML resource: applications, products, technologies, and tutorials.The XML Handbook is a good resource for those starting with XML and even for those who have been working with XML but are struggling to keep up with the latest developments, standards, and tools. In the first and last part of the handbook, the reader can find both a general overview of XML and technical specifics of XML and related standards. The scenarios, case studies, and tool descriptions serve to make XML “real” to the reader and to spark the imagination as to how XML might be used in the reader’s own environment.***The foreword is written by Jean Paoli, Microsoft XML Architect.

XML Data Exchange Using ABAP
Product Description
Data exchange using XML technologies is revolutionizing the integration of applications and processes. Due to the performance and/or complexity of transformations that must be carried out, ABAP mappings on the SAP Web Application Server will increasingly be required.
This comprehensive technical guide shows you, step-by-step, how to implement XML data exchange processes using ABAP. Based on a variety of interface examples, readers are provided with highly detailed descriptions of all XML technologies including XML Library, XSLT (with a specific focus on XSLT 2.0 extensions), and Simple Transformations. Volumes of code samples enable you to implement your own data exchange scenarios and select the appropriate technologies to support them. In addition, readers benefit from best practices for data exchange and from practical guidance on all aspects of software development – including specification, testing, data validation via Java integration, and more.
Process-Driven SOA: Proven Patterns for Business-IT Alignment
Product Description
Process-Driven SOA: Patterns and Practices is a conceptual guide on how you effectively design and build software architectures that follow principles of business-IT alignment. Step-by-step the authors illustrate the design process using proven patterns that address complex business/technical scenarios, where integrated concepts of SOA, BPM (Business Process Management), and EDA (Event-driven Architecture) are required. They explain how you can create the different design artifacts by applying software patterns that address the key conceptual problems and their corresponding solutions.
Find out how to systematically address the complexity of the many issues that need to be resolved and managed – SOA is not limited to technical issues, but is rather a holistic challenge where aspects of SOA, EDA, and BPM all need to be addressed in conjunction.
Enriched with hands-on examples and practical industry cases, Process-Driven SOA: Patterns and Practices illustrates the business and technical challenges in SOA projects that need to be considered and resolved. Learn more about the design decisions that need to be made step after step and how proven patterns guide these decisions to be effective!
