This title provides a comprehensive reference/tutorial for Java programmers who want to tap the synergy of XML and Java in key Web development tasks.
The Java, XML, and Web Services Bible serves as a reference/tutorial for a variety of XML and Java related topics. It covers areas such as B2B, Instant Messaging, Java and XML Binding, Scalable Vector Graphics, and Application development with XML and JSP. It discusses some commercial and open technologies used with Java and XML such as Cocoon, Batik, and Xerces.
This book is really good for learning JAXP/DOM/SAX APIs and JAX-WS, JAX-RS APIs. I had read a couple of books before that and was not so satisfied since XML transformation is a big topic and mostly used in app developement. However, this book is so well structured the topics are really covered in depth. It has covered XML, XSLT and Webservices and so was my focus. If you are dealing with these technologies everyday and you have gained knowledge through work but just want to know in depth about them then I would definitely recomend this book. Easy explanation, well structured and included some really good examples. Happy reading :)
