Mastering XML Using Java is a five day in-depth course geared for Java programmers who need to understand what XML and XSLT are as well as how to work with XML from within Java. This intense course focuses on the family of XML specifications as well as XML-related APIs from the Java world that are oriented towards parsing, transforming, and binding XML. There is a strong theme on performance and best practices throughout the course.
Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a standard that is enabling a revolution in web applications and business to business interactions. XML is the basis for Wireless Markup Language (WML), Voice Markup Language (VoiceML), Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), Web Services, and numerous industry initiatives such as ACORD (insurance), PXML (proposal/RFP) and OTA (travel).
This course is an intensive, hands-on treatment of how to consume, generate, and transform XML within Java and J2EE applications. The course is a balanced mixture of theory and practical labs designed to take students from the basic fundamentals of XML processing through to the related advanced technologies such as Java/XML interoperability. The students walk through the various APIs in a structured manner to enable them to master the concepts, ideas, and patterns, which are reinforced in the lab exercises.
Skills Gained
Working in a hands-on learning environment student will learn to:
Write well-formed XML documents
Model business requirements using XML
Handle XML reserved characters
Validate an XML document with a DTD and with a Schema
Centralize data and markup definition with entities
Create DTDs and Schemas using XML tools
Generate XML documents from databases
Write XSL templates to transform XML documents into HTML
Integrate XML, XSL and the DOM to implement a complete solution
Programmatically parse well-formed XML documents
Programmatically validate XML document using DTD and Schemas
Work with SAX's event-based output
Work with DOM's node-based output
Programmatically transform XML into any other text representation using XSLT processors
Consume, generate, and validate XML using corresponding Java classes
Recognize XML-related performance issues and problems in Java applications
Who Can Benefit
This is an intermediary level Java programming course, designed for those needing to process XML from within Java applications.
Prerequisites
Previous experience or knowledge of HTML is helpful. Students are expected to know the Java programming language.
What You'll Learn
This course provides indoctrination into the practical use of the XML-related Java APIs and of implementing applications with them. This course is a Java class, with extensive programming labs. Graduates will hit the ground running, applying Java and XML to projects at both an architectural as well as a line by line coding level. We can easily adapt this course to industry and client specific needs.
In addition to valuable knowledge and working examples, students receive a copy of the "Xtensil" product. This unique software was developed to assist in implementing, testing, and fielding XML applications. Xtensil is used as both a teaching aid and a straightforward, basic, fully functional XML toolkit that students can use on Windows and Linux platforms.
