"This is an excellent book that combines a practical and analytical look at the subject." "--Leo Korman, Principal Software Engineer, KANA Software As organizations begin to employ XML within their information-management and exchange strategies, data management issues pertaining to storage, retrieval, querying, indexing, and manipulation increasingly arise. Moreover, new information-modeling challenges also appear. "XML Data Management--with its contributions from experts at the forefront of the XML field--addresses these key issues and challenges, offering insights into the advantages and drawbacks of various XML solutions, best practices for modeling information with XML, and developing custom, in-house solutions. In this book, you will find discussions on the newest native XML databases, along with information on working with XML-enabled relational database systems. In addition, "XML Data Management thoroughly examines benchmarks and analysis techniques for performance of XML databases. Topics covered include: The power of good grammar and style in modeling information to alleviate the need for redundant domain knowledgeTamino's XML storage, indexing, querying, and data access featuresThe features and APIs of open source eXistBerkeley DB XML's ability to store XML documents nativelyIBM's DB2 Universal Database and its support for XML applicationsXperanto's method of addressing information integration requirementsOracle's XMLType for managing document centric XML documentsMicrosoft SQL Server 2000's support for exporting and importing XML dataA generic architecture for storing XML documents in a relational databaseX007, XMach-1, XMark, and other benchmarks for evaluatingXML database performance Numerous case studies demonstrate real-world problems, industry-tested solutions, and creative applications of XML data management solutions.

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.
