Product Description
Geared toward experienced developers, this reference demonstrates how Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE), and XML technologies can be used together to create more robust distributed applications and software systems. The use of XML technology to extend and enhance the capabilities of the J2EE platform is covered in detail. Discussed are J2EE and XML integration at each layer of an n-tier distributed application model. Design patterns, tradeoffs, and decision criteria are provided in terms of individual XML and J2EE technology combinations. Hot topics in application integration are also covered, including Web services, architectures, and business partner integration.

Average Rating:
Rating: - not enough for a developer
First of all, it is out of date.
And, it is not enough for a developer to learn how to use XML in J2EE environment. Yes, it does have some sample code, but not enough.
Rating: - An Introduction level book
Java and XML have a great synergy, they marry together to create a "Write once, run anywhere" with a "platform independent data" paradigm. The nice thing about this is that you can keep the service interface relatively stable (e.g. use XML document instead of a specific data structure). But often what people overlook is, if you choose not to expose/distribute your data model directly (using classic data structure/class), then you have to expose/distribute the meta data of the data model (in XML world, ...

Rating: - Good coverage on XML and Java but not J2EE
The book covers a wide range of XML technologies and its implementations in Java. Most of the examples/patterns discussed in the book apply equally well or can be easily adapted for non-J2EE Java application. Some examples use depreciated APIs, some use APIs that no longer exist in latest packages. It's not a big problem and equivalents usually can be easily found. Just be aware how fast the technologies are evolving.
Rating: - Well-rounded coverage, excellent for beginners/intermediates
This book gives you a very well-organized and informative tour of what's happening in the XML arena, the problem is this particular area of technology already so wide and so fast-expanding it's very difficult to get into the deep details of all areas, but the authors have done an excellent job of choosing the right technologies of tomorrow and delving into the details of those with sufficient background-story and code examples; in fact I would have given this book 5 stars if it didn't waste the first 40 ...

Rating: - Useful overview, but a bit shallow
The title of this book tells the story, except that it should probably include the word "Overview". It is an easy read that provides solid information, but it is by no means a reference. It offers a nice, quick description of several aspects of Java and XML development, but I kept waiting for the meat. If you are new to XML in Java, this book will bring you up to speed on the APIs and uses of XML.
It starts with a review of J2EE architecture and XML development, which is helpful because the ... Read More
