Cocoon is an open source development framework for creating dynamic websites with XML and Java. Its popularity is rapidly expanding as companies look for ways to manage content in XML. It allows developers to deliver XML data in a variety of formats, including HTML and PDF, and on a wide variety of devices. This book is aimed at both web designers familiar with Java servlets and XML, as well as Java developers who need to create complex documents from XML data. It extends and enhances the standard Cocoon documentation by providing the background on Cocoon's architecture necessary for understanding how to use it. It also offers extensive coverage of the XSP language used with Cocoon and real-world implementation examples, including developing a web service with SOAP and sending text to web-enabled cellphones. Lead author Bill Brogden has written a number of books on Java, including Sybex's best-selling SOAP Programming with Java.
XML Schema is the new language standard from the W3C and the new foundation for defining data in Web-based systems. There is a wealth of information available about Schemas but very little understanding of how to use this highly formal specification for creating documents. Grasping the power of Schemas means going back to the basics of documents themselves, and the semantic rules, or grammars, that define them. Written for schema designers, system architects, programmers, and document authors, Modeling Business Objects with XML Schema guides you through understanding Schemas from the basic concepts, type systems, type derivation, inheritance, namespace handling, through advanced concepts in schema design. Reviews basic XML syntax and the Schema recommendation in detail. Discusses Schema design in large environments, best practice design patterns, and Schema's relation to object-oriented concepts. Berthold Daum holds a Ph.D. in mathematics.
If your background is in document processing, this book will show how you can use conceptual modeling to model business scenarios consisting of business objects, relationships, processes, and transactions in a document-centric way. Database designers will learn if XML is subject to relational normalization and how this fits in with the hierarchical structure of XML documents. Web designers will discover that XML puts them into a position to automatically generate visually pleasing web pages and rich multimedia shows from otherwise dry product catalogues by using XSLT and other transformation tools. Business architects will see how XML can help them to define applications that can be quickly adapted the ever changing requirements of the market. The key to rising above the confusion is to understand the different semantic structures that lie beneath the standards of XML, and how to model the semantics to achieve the goals of the organization.
