If you're a Java programmer working with XML, you probably already use some of the tools developed by the Apache Software Foundation. This book is a code-intensive guide to the Apache XML tools that are most relevant for Java developers, including Xerces, Xalan, FOP, Cocoon, Axis, and Xindice. Theodore Leung, a founding member of the Apache XML Project, focuses on the unique capabilities of these best-of-breed XML tools. With the help of a sample application, he demonstrates how you can use them in unison to develop professional XML/Java applications for the real world. If you need in-depth information to help you assemble a workable toolbox for developing sophisticated XML-based applications, you'll find it in this volume. In this book, you will find out about the following: -How the Apache XML Project relates to Java programming -When you'll need some of Xerces' extra parsing features, like grammar caching -How to use Xalan's XSLTC to compile XSLT stylesheets into Java -Prerequisites and applications for FOP and Batik -Cocoon concepts and development -Development techniques and practical usage for Xindice -How to develop back-end applications with XML RPC and Axis -Applications and concepts for XML Security «
