Java, XML, and JAXP

Arthur Griffith

If you understand Java, this book will get you going with XML. The Java API for processing XML documents is named JAXP, and this book contains numerous examples and explanations of how to use JAXP.

Examples

There are many examples in the book. They are all available here so you can download them.

(To obtain a trial version of WinZip, go to www.winzip.com.)

The archives include all of the example Java and XML source code organized by the chapters in the book. The files are also available by anonymous ftp at ftp.belugalake.com/pub.

The archives also include the contents of the xdox directory that is used in the remote access examples in the book. If you want to access the xdox directory remotely from inside your XML, you can use the URL in the book, which is www.belugalake.com/xdox, or you can address the one at www.wiley.com/compbooks/griffith/xdox.

Java and XML Links

This list of links are the ones you can use to locate the primary software tools and documentation needed to work with XML.

Links to Specifications

There are many Web sites on the internet that contain documentation on some aspect of XML. The following list contains some of the ones that have been useful to me in one way or another.

www.w3c.org/XML
Annotated XML Specification
SOAP Specification
Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 Defines the syntax of XML.
XML Namespace specification
XML Pointer Language (XPointer) XPointer describes how to address a resource. Defines a standard way to represent links between resources. In addition to simple links, like HTML's tag, XML has mechanisms for links between multiple resources and links between read-only resources.
XML Linking Language (XLink) XLink describes how to associate two or more resources. Defines a standard way to represent links between resources. In addition to simple links, such as HTML's <A> tag, the XLink language has mechanisms for creating reciprocal links among multiple resources and special links between pairs of read-only resources.
Extensible Style Language (XSL) Defines the standard stylesheet language for XML.
