This introduction to XML provides demonstrations of the basics of learning XML, covering topics such as Web 2.0, AJAX, RSS, Web Services and managing XML data. These short Web-based video modules provide clear examples of XML as well as references to popular Web sites that use XML.

The Metro Web service stack provides a comprehensive solution for accessing and implementing Web services. It's based on the reference implementations of the JAXB 2.x and JAX-WS 2.x Java™ standards, with added components to support WS-* SOAP extension technologies and actual Web service deployment. This article looks at the basic principles of Metro client and server development.

Within the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) community, Spring is becoming a widely accepted framework. One new feature in the latest release of Spring is its Object/XML (O/X) mapping support. The API enables developers to convert Java objects into XML and vice versa. In this article, learn to use the Object/XML mapping in Spring and explore its advantages.

In this article, you will see different options for working with XML tools on Android and how to use them to build your own Android applications. Learn how to leverage XML parsers, SAX, and also how to Work the DOM.

Explore namespaces in XPath expressions with the Java language and its XML functions. Learn three ways to provide the prefix to namespace mapping using the NamespaceContext object. This article contains example code to make it easy to code your own NamespaceContext.

To be a successful software developer in this day and age, you need a set of tools that makes dealing with XML effortless. Groovy introduces new and better ways to create and process XML. With the help of some examples, this article shows you how Groovy makes building and parsing XML refreshingly simple.

Now with "My developerWorks" you get the benefit of a personalized profile and custom home page as your gateway into how-to articles, tutorials, forums, IBM trial downloads and tools, technical briefings, blogs, spaces, podcasts, sample code, and wikis. You also get the most important new ability to easily network with a technical community of over 8 million skilled UNIX, Java, Linux, Web Development, XML, and Open Source developerWorks users, who are students, software developers, and IT professionals, like you. Now you can build your technical skills and your professional network at the same time and in the same place.

Google Web Toolkit (GWT) applications, apart from connecting to servlets in time-honored Java fashion, can also use PHP Web services to send and receive data in XML. You'll explore methods to generate XML documents and process them, both in the Java language and in PHP. This article examines a simple GWT application and a couple of PHP Web services that consume XML documents.

This article shows how to implement a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) mechanism for Web applications that use JavaScript on both servers and clients. You'll also learn several interesting techniques, such as implementing Java interfaces with JavaScript, building an XMLHttpRequest wrapper, making Ajax debugging easier, and using JSP tag files to generate JavaScript code.

Like Structured Query Language (SQL), XQuery is a lookup specification tied to the XML standard. Using XML as the model and XQuery as the view is a powerful way to provide a language-agnostic solution while still retaining the benefits of using the MVC pattern. In this article, explore the advantages of XQuery over other view technologies (PHP, JSP), how XQuery is implemented in the presentation layer, and a realistic example of such an implementation.

Code generation from XML schema definitions is widely used for all types of XML data exchange, including Web services. JiBX data binding has long been known as the fastest and most flexible approach for binding Java code to XML. Learn how to create quality XML schema from Java with JiBX and then how to generate Java code easily from XML schema definitions.

In this article, two experienced SOA architects look at the new world of Web 2.0 technologies with a critical eye and present five best practices that can help you be more successful in adopting Ajax, REST, and other Web 2.0 technologies as part of your SOA. There are several major areas in which they have learned some very painful lessons. They share these with you to spare you similar distress, and to help you get a jump on your SOA Web 2.0 success.

XMLBeans is a great XML-to-Java data-binding technology, but it lacks the ability to register observers for model changes. However, you can customize generated plain old Java objects (POJOs) to include the necessary interfaces and the notification of changes. Create a Sudoku Rich Client Platform (RCP) game application in Eclipse, and learn how to use eventing to validate the user's input.

After reading Part 1: Install and set up Castor, and Part 2: Marshall and unmarshall XML, in this series, you should be comfortable using Castor to convert from XML to Java, and then back again. In Part 3, you'll learn to add flexibility to your functionality, through Castor mapping files. You'll no longer be constrained by the names of elements in your XML document, or by the member variable names in your Java classes.

With the new XML technology called Hierarchical Inherited Rule-Interpreted XML, you can replace standard Java properties with dynamic versions. It allows you to define properties that you can evaluate based on the state of the application using simple expressions or even Groovy expressions, and it lets you use only one properties file for multiple instances of the application. Learn how to apply this technology in a simple, practical example as a replacement for Java properties files.

The Xalan XSLT processor can invoke almost any method in almost any Java class in the classpath. Doing so can improve performance, provide features like trigonometric functions that aren't available in XSLT, perform file I/O, talk to databases and network servers, or implement algorithms that are easy to write in the Java language but hard to write in XSLT. Learn the basics of invoking Java code from Xalan.
