Java Programmer Reference Xml

Written for Java programmers who want to integrate XML into their systems, this practical, comprehensive guide and reference shows how to process XML documents with the Java programming language. It leads experienced Java developers beyond the basics of XML, allowing them to design sophisticated XML applications and parse complicated documents. "Processing XML with Java provides a brief review of XML fundamentals, including XML syntax; DTDs, schemas, and validity; stylesheets; and the XML protocols XML-RPC, SOAP, and RSS. The core of the book comprises in-depth discussions on the key XML APIs Java programmers must use to create and manipulate XML files with Java. These include the Simple API for XML (SAX), the Document Object Model (DOM), and JDOM (a Java native API). In addition the book covers many useful supplements to these core APIs, including XPath, XSLT, the TrAX API, and JAXP. Practical in focus, "Processing XML with Java is filled with over two hundred examples that demonstrate how to accomplish various important tasks related to file formats, data exchange, document transformation, and database integration. You will learn how to read and write XML documents with Java code, convert legacy flat files into XML documents, communicate with network servers that send and receive XML data, and much more. Readers will find detailed coverage of the following: How to choose the right API for the jobReading documents with SAXSAX filtersValidation in several schema languagesDOM implementations for JavaThe DOM Traversal ModuleOutput from DOMReading and writing XML documents with JDOMSearching XML documents with XPathCombining XSLT transforms with traditional imperative Java codeTrAX, the Transformations API for XMLJAXP, the Java API for XML Processing In addition, the book includes a convenient quick reference that summarizes the major elements of all the XML APIs discussed in the book.

Java is now used with increasing frequency to develop mission-critical applications. Using Java Management Extensions (JMX) is the key to managing those applications. As JMX is increasingly accepted into the fields of embedded systems, enterprise systems, and telephony, it is clear that all Java developers will encounter JMX before long. "Java™ and JMX: Building Manageable Systems is the definitive guide to JMX, combining an introduction to the technology with extensive coverage that will make this book a favorite reference. Much more than just an explanation of the JMX specifications, this book can drastically reduce a reader's JMX learning curve by explaining how to develop management requirements and apply JMX to them. The book's coverage includes: A management primer for Java programmers and architects A historical perspective on the evolution of JMX and its relation to other management standards, including SNMP, CIM/WBEM, TMN, and CMIPDevelopment of JMX Manageable Resources with Standard and Dynamic MBeansDevelopment with Model MBeans as customizable generic instrumentation using both the JMX APIs and XML filesMBeanServer, including the MBean registry and object naming scheme, the generic MBean interface, and the query mechanismJMX Monitors and NotificationsMBeanServer Services including the timer, relationship, and dynamic loading, along with custom services for XML services, HTTP adapters, RMI connectors, and security exposures and permissionsJMX best practices, including deployment patterns, instrumentation patterns, federation patterns, and best practicesJMX integration into J2EE and the JSR077 management models in J2EE 1.
