Java and XML, 3rd Edition, shows you how to cut through all the hype about XML and put it to work. It teaches you how to use the APIs, tools, and tricks of XML to build real-world applications. The result is a new approach to managing information that touches everything from configuration files to web sites.

After two chapters on XML basics, including XPath, XSL, DTDs, and XML Schema, the rest of the book focuses on using XML from your Java applications. This third edition of Java and XML covers all major Java XML processing libraries, including full coverage of the SAX, DOM, StAX, JDOM, and dom4j APIs as well as the latest version of the Java API for XML Processing (JAXP) and Java Architecture for XML Binding (JAXB). The chapters on web technology have been entirely rewritten to focus on the today''s most relevant topics: syndicating content with RSS and creating Web 2.0 applications. You''ll learn how to create, read, and modify RSS feeds for syndicated content and use XML to power the next generation of websites with Ajax and Adobe Flash.

Topics include:

The basics of XML, including DTDs, namespaces, XML Schema, XPath, and TransformationsThe SAX API, including all handlers, filters, and writersThe DOM API, including DOM Level 2, Level 3, and the DOM HTML moduleThe JDOM API, including the core and a look at XPath supportThe StAX API, including StAX factories, producing documents and XMLPullData Binding with JAXB, using the new JAXB 2.0 annotationsWeb syndication and podcasting with RSSXML on the Presentation Layer, paying attention to Ajax and Flash applications

If you are developing with Java and need to use XML, or think that you will be in the future; if you''re involved in the new peer-to-peer movement, messaging, or web services; or if you''re developing software for electronic commerce, Java and XML will be an indispensable companion.

JRuby users don't need yet another tutorial on building Rails applications or another treatise on why Entity Beans are Bad Things. They need quick instructions on how to put JRuby to use: how to take advantage of Java's many libraries, how to run Rails web applications inside a Java container, how to integrate with other Java applications, and more. These problems require a cookbook approach, not a tutorial. That's what the "JRuby Cookbook" gives you: a short, concise book that shows, step-by-step, how to solve the problems you face from day to day.

If you''re interested in JRuby, you probably don''t need a tutorial on Ruby, Rails, or Java -- you just need to know how to get things done. This Cookbook offers practical solutions for using the Java implementation of the Ruby language, with targeted recipes for deploying Rails web applications on Java servers, integrating JRuby code with Java technologies, developing JRuby desktop applications with Java toolkits, and more. Using numerous reusable code samples, JRuby Cookbook shows you how to:

Install and update JRuby on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux, and IDEs such as NetBeans and EclipsePackage and deploy Rails apps on Java Servlet containers and Java EE application servers, including JBoss, Tomcat, and GlassFishIntegrate Ruby and Rails applications with popular Java EE technologies such as JMS, JMX, JPA, Spring, and HibernateDevelop desktop and client applications with cross-platform Java UI technologies and toolkits such as Swing, SWT, and Java 2DMaximize the flexibility of your testing and build environment, using both existing Java-based tools such as Ant and Maven and newer Ruby-based tools such as Rake, Raven, and Buildr

The JRuby interpreter combines Ruby''s simplicity and ease of use with Java''s extensive libraries and technologies, a potent blend that opens new possibilities for Ruby, Rails, and Java. This Cookbook helps you take full advantage of JRuby''s potential."The JRuby Cookbook is an excellent book for any polyglot who is trying to bridge the gap between Java and Ruby. It provides solutions to specific problems developers face in both their development and testing environments, along with the applications they''re building."-- Bob McWhirter, Research & Prototyping, Red Hat Middleware
