Java and XSLT
The power of XSLT is its ability to change the structure or format of any content that can be converted to XML. Java and XSLT shows you how to use XSL transformations in Java programs ranging from stand-alone applications to servlets. After an introduction to XSLT, the book focuses on applying transformations in some real-world scenarios, such as developing a discussion forum, transforming documents from one form to another, and generating content for wireless devices. Java and XSLT discusses several common XSLT processors and the TRAX API, paying special attention to performance issues. Although there's a brief tutorial introduction to the XSLT language, the primary focus of the book isn't on learning XSLT or developing stylesheets; it's on making practical use of transformations in Java code. The book covers: XSLT Basics; XSLT Beyond The Basics; Java Web Architecture; Programmatic Interfaces to XSLT Processors; Using XSLT with Servlets.

Learn XML Tips
Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a design language that permits the user to develop a customized markup language for a unique document, whether it is text or data. As the use of XML becomes more widespread, a comprehensive guide to its features is needed. George Doss provides such a reference with Learn XML Tips. This book uses the frequently asked questions (FAQ) format to provide concise answers about a range of subjects, including designing an XML DTD, dialects, processing, and the implications of using XML with Internet Explorer 5.0. The appendices include a glossary, the XML production rules, and the differences between XML and SGML, and XML and HTML. Uses over 600 questions and answers to highlight the concepts and techniques of using XML, SGML and HTML. For introductory to intermediate level XML programmers. The companion CD contains Extensibility Inc.'s Turbo XML, which includes XML Authority, XML Instance, and XML Console.

Learning XML
In Learning XML, the author explains XML and its capabilities succinctly and professionally, with references to real-life projects and other cogent examples. Learning XML shows the purpose of XML markup itself, the CSS and XSL styling languages, and the XLink and XPointer specifications for creating rich link structures. The basic advantages of XML over HTML are that XML lets a web designer define tags that are meaningful for the particular documents or database output to be used, and that it enforces an unambiguous structure that supports error-checking. XML supports enhanced styling and linking standards (allowing, for instance, simultaneous linking to the same document in multiple languages) and a range of new applications. Topics include: XML overview; XPointer; XLink; XHTML; Presentation with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS); Document Type Definitions (DTDs); XML Schemas; Transformation with XSLT; Internationalization; Simple API for XML (SAX).

Mastering XMI
XMI (XML Metadata Interchange) is an advance in XML technology that enables you to represent objects in XML, exchange those objects with other software tools, and exploit modeling technology in your XML applications. Mastering XMI includes examples written in Java that demonstrate practical techniques for using XMI with both XML and UML. Also included is a discussion of how IBM is using XMI in its latest software development tools. The authors cover the basics first, detailing the essential XML and UML concepts that you need to know to understand XMI. In addition to XMI fundamentals, they explain how XMI works with the Model Driven Architecture (MDA), a new software development approach. After learning how XMI works, you will then learn how to: Use XMI to express your object-oriented software models in XML; Generate Java implementation classes from your models using the XMI Framework; Reverse engineer models from XML documents, DTDs, and schemas.
