Clearly Explained

This book is an excellent introduction of XML, as well as XSLT, XSLFO, in conjunction working with Java and SOAP. It clearly explains the fundamental concepts one needs to build a strong foundation. In learning a developer can see how XSL could replace JSP. This will definitely be an interesting battle to watch.

Excellent if you already know server-side Java!

The title of this book seems to imply that it is meant to teach you both Java and Xml in one go, but you really need to have already done some serious Java programming and particularly have a few servlets under your belt. It an excellent book for those who wish to learn the specifics of using Java to read and write Xml. It takes you by the hand and shows you how to turn your servlets into applications that can turn XML into any format for the web or B2B using SAX, DOM, JDOM in Java programs to take advantage of the power of XSL, XSLT and XSD.

Good coverage and well laid out.

I am a big reader of tech manuals and as such I think that I have a good frame of reference when it comes to computer tech. manuals. This book is very well presented and laid out. The concepts are illustrated by examples and the text does not wander off into details that can easily be had on the web. The whole point of these books is to distill(clarify) the information that is available online. This book gets you up and running quickly.Stef
