Product Description
Ant is the premier build-management tool for Java environments. Ant enables developers to define builds of complex Java applications using industry standard XML. Ant handles dependencies between the different components involved in a build, can check out source code as needed from source code control systems, and can deliver components such as JAR files and WAR files to client, middle-tier, and server machines. Ant is an open source project, and is platform independent.

Product Description
More Java developers today want to work with XML, the technology that enables data to be transported intact over the Internet, but they don’t have time to become XML experts. If this describes you, then you’ll appreciate data binding, the new way of converting XML documents into Java objects, so those documents can be worked on and manipulated like any other Java object, then converted back to XML This new title provides an in-depth technical look at XML Data Binding. The book offers complete documentation of all features in both the Sun Microsystems JAXB API and popular open source alternative implementations (Enhydra Zeus, Exolabs Castor and Quick). It also gets into significant detail about when data binding is appropriate to use, and provides numerous practical examples of using data binding in applications.

‘Was I impressed with this book? Indeed I was! The content is both timely and accurate, the reading is easy and enjoyable – a very rare achievement.’ Java Desk, Israel (Java User Group)

Product Description
With the XML “buzz” still dominating talk among Internet developers, there’s a real need to learn how to cut through the hype and put XML to work. Java & XML shows how to use the APIs, tools, and tricks of XML to build real-world applications. The result is code and data that are portable. This second edition adds chapters on Advanced SAX and Advanced DOM, new chapters on SOAP and data binding, and new examples throughout. Following a concise introduction to XML basics, the rest of the book focuses on using XML from your Java applications. Java developers who need to work with XML, or think that they will in the future–as well as developers involved in the new peer-to-peer movement, messaging, or web services–will find Java & XML a constant companion. Includes a quick reference on SAX 2.0, DOM Level 2, and JDOM.
